string to integer conversion

[boys21]

hi,

i am working with excel and java. by default, value extracted from a cell of excel sheet is string. In a column i have 3000 numerical values. As excel sheet cell is returning string, i created a string array to store column elements. when i try to convert those string values to integer,

1.It is throwing an exception of array index out of bounds? why?

2. also, when i tried to print the string values directly, it is throwing exception in middle of values, but still i could see all values? but, with exception message.

please help me, thanks in advance.

br,

If you want help, you'll have to provide an SSCCE that demonstrates the problem. Otherwise, we have no idea what you're doing.

ok..
assume my excel sheet have 1000 rows, 5 columns
iam extracing data from excel sheet cells and trying to make statistical analysis and modifications on excel data through arrays,

//create a work book to access data.

//created a multi dimensional array of string datatype to save the data into cells

string [][] x;
x=new string [column][row];

TO copy contents from a cells to array; i used nested for loops

for loop(column){

for loop (row)
{
x[i][j]=cell.getcontents(column,row);
}
}

NOw, i hold all cells data of excel sheet in a multi dimensional array.

assume i want to manuplate, 2nd column elements to make some analysis.

excel Cell return string type , so i used string array to store. but actually they are numerical values in the cells, so i have to type cast them to make anaylsis. as i only need 2nd column elements to manipulate, i took a single dimensional array and made typecasting. HERE IT is throwing EXCEPTION.


int[] analysis;
analysis =new integer[row];

for(int c=0;c<row;c++){

analysis[c]=Integer.parseInt(x[1][c]);//second column elements //Here i get exception.
}

You're mixing up row and colum index values; normally a row runs 'horizontally' and the colums run from left to right; the row index is the first index in a two dimensional array (and the column index is the second index). Draw it on paper while you fix your code; rows are on top of eachother. columns are next to eachother.

kind regards,
