[searcher]

Hi ppl heres my code and i keep getting array index out of bounds

private static int breakFast , nightSingle , nightPPS , nightSingleBreakFast , nightPPSBreakFast , discountRate , discountInterval ,
dinner;
private static File dir = new File("C:\\Mariette'sB&B");
private static File e = new File(dir , "prices.file");
private static BufferedReader in;
private static BufferedWriter out;
private static String [] prices = new String [7];


public static void readFile()throws FileNotFoundException , IOException{// readFile and add to array
if(e.exists()){
in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(e));
String read = null;
int count = 0;
do{
read = in.readLine();
prices [count] = read;
count++;
}while(read != null);
in.close();
updatePrices();
}
else{
dir.mkdir();
e.createNewFile();
}
}

public static void writeFile()throws IOException{// writeFile
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(e));
for(int i = 0; i < prices.length ; i++){
out.write(prices[i]);
out.newLine();
}
out.flush();
out.close();
}

public static void updatePrices(){
breakFast = Integer.parseInt(prices[0]);
nightSingle = Integer.parseInt(prices[1]);
nightPPS = Integer.parseInt(prices[2]);
nightSingleBreakFast = Integer.parseInt(prices[3]);
nightPPSBreakFast = Integer.parseInt(prices[4]);
discountRate = Integer.parseInt(prices[5]);
discountInterval = Integer.parseInt(prices[6]);
dinner = Integer.parseInt(prices[7]);
}

and heres my file's content
