Variable not being assigned?

[Evan.C]

Hello,
Im currently trying to use a variation of the NeHe lesson 10, in order to use the SetupWorld section to assign vertex in a textfile to an array. Here's the error bit of code:

Sector sector1;
int numsquares = 0;
private void setupWorld() {
		float x,y,z,u,v;
		
		try {
			String line;
			FileReader fr = new FileReader("C:/Users/EvanClark/workspace/RofT/Data/Cube.txt");
			BufferedReader dis = new BufferedReader(fr);
			try {
				while ((line = dis.readLine()) != null) {
					if (!(line.trim().length() == 0 || line.trim().startsWith("//")))
						continue;
					if (line.startsWith("NumSquares")) {
						int numSquares;
						numSquares = Integer.parseInt(line.substring(line.indexOf("NumSquares") + "NumSquares".length() + 1));
						sector1 = new Sector(numSquares);
						numsquares = numSquares;
						break;
					}
					
				}
					for (int i=0; i<numsquares; i++) {
					for (int vert = 0; vert < 4; vert++) {
						while ((line = dis.readLine()) != null) {
							if (line.trim().length() == 0 || line.trim().startsWith("//")) 
								continue;
							break;
						}
						if (line != null) {
							StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line, " ");
							sector1.square[i].vertex[vert].x = Float.valueOf(st.nextToken()).floatValue();
							sector1.square[i].vertex[vert].y = Float.valueOf(st.nextToken()).floatValue();
							sector1.square[i].vertex[vert].z = Float.valueOf(st.nextToken()).floatValue();
							sector1.square[i].vertex[vert].u = Float.valueOf(st.nextToken()).floatValue();
							sector1.square[i].vertex[vert].v = Float.valueOf(st.nextToken()).floatValue();								
						}
					}
				}
				dis.close();
			} catch (Exception e) { 
				System.out.println("SetupWorldException1"); 
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
			
			}catch (Exception e) {
				System.out.println("SetupWorldException2");
				e.printStackTrace();				
		}
		hasSetup = true;
	}

These bits may be important also, although Im pretty sure there not where the problem lies:

public class Sector {
	public int numSquares;
	Square square[];
	public Sector(int num) {
		numSquares=num;
		square = new Square[numSquares];
		for (int i=0; i<numSquares;i++) {
			square[i] = new Square();
		}
	}
}

public class Vertex {
	public float x,y,z,u,v;
}

public class Square {
	public Vertex vertex[];
	public Square() {
		vertex = new Vertex[3];
		for (int i=0;i<4;i++)
			vertex[i] = new Vertex();
	}
}

The problem is that when I reference either sector1.numSquares, or numsquares it doesn't work. I attempted to set up a for loop using numsquares after sector1.numSquares didn't work, and told it to output numsquares just before the for loop, and it still said it was 0, despite me having called setupworld.

I told the system to output "setting up" at the start of setupworld so I know thats not the problem.

The int numsquares = 0; isn't the problem either, as even when I dont assign a value to it, it doesnt work, and when I use sector1.numSquares it doesn't work either :/

Thanks,
Evan.

What does "doesn't work" or "didn't work" mean?
They tell us nothing of any value.

[Evan.C]

It doesn't set the variable numsquares, or the variable sector1.numSquares. Whenever I attempt to use either variable I encounter an error, or I get the unchanged variable (e.g. with numsquares it will still output 0 and the variable won't be changed after I have told it too).

The start of the textfile is "NumSquares 6", so surely the variable sector1.numSquares and numsquares should both be 6?


I'm afraid I can't really give much more code away, as it is for my computing coursework.

Thanks,
Evan.

Infact, just done a couple more tests, it appears that nothing at all is being assigned to sector1, even though setupWorld() is definitely being run through. Any ideas why?

Is the code that assigns values to sector1 being executed?
Is there more than one Sector object? You are assigning values to one and looking in another for the values.

I encounter an error,
