[Help Please] Java [Rsps Command]

Code:

---

if (playerCommand.startsWith("lottery")) {
  try {
  BufferedWriter report = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("./Data/Report/Report.txt", true));
  try {
        report.write(c.number + ". " + c.playerName);
        c.number += 1;
        report.newLine();
        } finally {
        report.close();
}
        } catch (IOException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
        }
}

---

I basically need help with one thing.
I want it to says the following (when using the ::report command).
1. Player name.
2. Player name.
3. Player name.
etc..so the numbers will be in right order, however the value of the integer doesn't save,
and it looks like this:

Code:

---

1. Player name.
1. Player name.

Please help! Much appreciated.:=(:

I can't tell where your error is based on the code posted. It does seem a bit unusual though that you're directly manipulating a class's field, number rather than using a setter variable and rather than using an array or collection.

You havent really shown enough to know, my guess is that c is getting re initialized to a start value each time through the loop.

c is a class called Player.
There's no reror, what I mean is:
When you type ::report, your name will be send to class named 'Report'.
And it will look like this:

Code:

---

1. Player

---

report.write(c.number + ". " + c.playerName);
As you can see above ^
But, if I type the command again, instead of showing this:

Code:

---

2. Player

---

It will show this again:

Code:

---

1. Player

A very stupid way to do it would be to read the number of lines already present in the file, say 'n', so that the next name to be written has the numerical value n+1. But I'd rather keep track of that number elsewhere ...

kind regards,

Jos

And how I can make it read the line exactly? Thanks for the help.

Also I agree with fubar, you probably shouldn't access variables in a class directly. Would you mind showing us some more code? Are you using a loop? Is this all happening upon execuing the code once?

Well this is all of the code, which located at commands.java
At player java there's the integer "public int number = 1;"

That can't be all the code, for instance; your snippet doesn't show when c was initialized.

c means Player.java which is a class..
And yes this is all of the code..:\

I understand that, but you can't just use an object without previously declaring an instance of the object.

Code:

---

public class X{}
public class Y{
  public static void main(String[] args){
    System.out.println(z);
  }
}

---

Z is an instance of X, however; I never declared or initialized z so this code wont compile.

Well that's what the command is for :(n): You help a lot but you still don't get what I need help with.
Basically just counting every line, like the other guy's problem (count worlds).

I was trying to see more of the code to help get an understanding of the problem.

To clarify jos's point, you can simply read in one line at a time from the file and increment a counter as you go, this will count the number of lines in a file and you can write to n+1

Code:

---

int j;
for(String s, j = 1; (s=in.readLine() != null); j++)
  ;

---

Something like this should work to read through a file and count the lines in it. At the end j will be the length of the file, so you will want to write j+1
