Java Objectinputstream skipBytes() Method

The skipBytes() method of ObjectInputStream class is used to skip the bytes by the numbers passed as the parameter.

Syntax

Parameter

len as the number of bytes to be skipped

Returns

The actual number of bytes skipped.

Throws

IOException

Example 1

import java.io.*;

public class ObjectInputStreamreadunskipByteExample1 {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String s = "javaTpoint";
      
      try {
         FileOutputStream outstream = new FileOutputStream("file1.txt");
         ObjectOutputStream objoutstream = new ObjectOutputStream(outstream);
         objoutstream.writeUTF(s);
         objoutstream.writeUTF("javaTpoint provide tutorial for all languages");
         objoutstream.flush();
         ObjectInputStream objinstream = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("file1.txt"));
         objinstream.skipBytes(6);
         for (int i = 0; i < objinstream.available() - 6; i++) {
            System.out.print("" + (char) objinstream.readByte());
         }
      } catch (Exception ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

Output:

Tpoint
javaTpoint  provide

Example 2

import java.io.*; 
  
public class ObjectInputStreamreadunskipByteExample2 
{ 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException 
    { 
        FileOutputStream outstream = new FileOutputStream("file1.txt"); 
        ObjectOutputStream objoutStream = new ObjectOutputStream(outstream); 
        ObjectInputStream objinStream = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("file1.txt")); 
        objoutStream.writeUTF(" Welcome to javatpoint"); 
        objoutStream.flush(); 
        objinStream.skipBytes(7); 
          
        for (int i = 2; i < objinStream.available(); i++)  
        { 
            System.out.print((char) objinStream.readByte()); 
        } 
    }
