Strange Error

[AJArmstron@aol.com]

Hi. I have been through my program and removed lines that print unneccessary information to the screen.

I have used these lines of code.

//declare the char array
char[] stringArray;
//convert string into array using toCharArray() method of string class
stringArray = filename.toCharArray();
//display the array
for(int index=0; index < stringArray.length; index++)
System.out.println(stringArray[index]);
int check=((stringArray.length)-4);

And the program compiles perfectly.

I then took out the line System.out.println(stringArray[index]);
and then the program would no longer compile.

I got these error messages.
savefilepicker.java:102: '.class' expected
int check=((stringArray.length)-4);
^
savefilepicker.java:102: not a statement
int check=((stringArray.length)-4);

int check=((stringArray.length)-4);

savefilepicker.java:102: ';' expected
int check=((stringArray.length)-4);

Why has this happened? Is this an error with Java? I don't see why not printing something to the screen would make such a difference!

Apologies for last post. I realise what I have done. I should have removed the for line as well.
