Getting Locale of a Scanner on a String ExampleThe following example shows the usage of Java Scanner locale() method to check locale of this scanner. We've created a scanner object using a given string. Then we printed the string using nextLine() method and then locale is printed. Scanner is closed using close() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Scanner; public class ScannerDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { String s = "Hello World! 3 + 3.0 = 6"; // create a new scanner with the specified String Object Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s); // print the next line of the string System.out.println(scanner.nextLine()); System.out.println(scanner.locale()); // close the scanner scanner.close(); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Hello World! 3 + 3.0 = 6 en_INGetting Locale of a Scanner on User Input Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Scanner locale() method to check locale of this scanner. We've created a scanner object using System.in class. Then we printed the string using nextLine() method and then its locale. Then scanner is closed using close() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Scanner; public class ScannerDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a new scanner with the system input Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); // print the next line of the string System.out.println(scanner.nextLine()); System.out.println(scanner.locale()); // close the scanner scanner.close(); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result − (where we've entered Hello World and pressed enter key.)
Hello World Hello World en_INGetting Locale of a Scanner on a Properties File Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Scanner locale() method to check locale of this scanner. We've created a scanner object using a File properties.txt. Then we printed the content using nextLine() method and then its locale is printed. Then scanner is closed using close() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.util.Scanner; public class ScannerDemo { public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException { // create a new scanner with a file as input Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File("properties.txt")); // print the next line of the string System.out.println(scanner.nextLine()); System.out.println(scanner.locale()); // close the scanner scanner.close(); } }
Assuming we have a file properties.txt available in your CLASSPATH, with the following content. This file will be used as an input for our example program −
Height=200 Width=15Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result − where we've entered Hello World and pressed enter key.
