read only double input from text file

[napi1234]

hello everyone,

i have some problems regarding reading the double input and ignore the integer input..
i am writing a progran that can read the input fron a file which contains number like this:
1 1 3.0376 0.0273 3.8290
1 2 4.0762 3.7267 4.7282
2 1 5.2373 3.2828 4.2728
...
and i would like to read only the double value and ignore the integer at the first two row in the file.

i currently used inpfile.hasNextDouble() but the reader just read all the number in input file as a double..

anyone got some idea or tips please..??

:confused:

You can read only Strings from the input; if your files are like you described each String contain just digits and maybe a decimal dot. Check if the String contains a decimal dot and convert it to a double; otherwise simply ignore the String.

Read each line of the file into a String. Split the String/line into words/tokens using String.split() or StringTokenizer then look at each word as JosAH suggested to determine if it is an integer or real number.

There's no need to read entire lines and split them; the OP is probably using a Scanner and it can read Strings delimited by white space.

thank you for the reply,
ok, igot the idea, and as i am new in java so could you please give more details.
heres my code:


try {
inpfile = new Scanner(
new BufferedReader(new FileReader("input.dat")));
}
while (inpfile.hasNext()) {

if (inpfile.hasNextDouble() && (firstnum==1)) {
i = inpfile.nextDouble();
}

i am going to used "i" fron the input file which is double number and not the integer in further calculation.

You have a try block there without a catch clause nor a finally clause; that doesn't even compile.Summarizing: suppose you have read a String s; check if it has a dot in it (the indexOf( ... ) method would do fine for that). If it has convert it to a double (read the API for the Doubke class), otherwise ignore the String s and read a next one.
