can you parse to get data for an array?

or is scanner the only way?

[Fubarable]

I know of no automatic plug in and parse to array. You need to write code for that. You may use a Scanner object for this, or any other object that will accept input.

Thanks.
I thought that was the case.

I'm trying to use scanner to get input from a jTextField without much luck. Parsing was easy but it needs to go into an array, so no parsing.

I have the line -

Scanner minutesIn = new Scanner(minutesField.getText());

The problem is, I need to get the input into a double for the array and math to follow.

I tired to add this line afterwards to turn the input into a double but it obviously doesn't work

double minutesIn = minutesIn.nextDouble();

I guess I need to somehow combine these 2 lines so it works, just not sure how.

EDIT:

I've changed things a bit. I'm now using this line -

double minutesIn = Double.parseDouble(minutesField.getText());

Now, I need to use the scanner on this to get it into my array.
Problem is I have no idea how to do this.

I'm really confused by your question and subsequent post. Are you trying to tokenize an input, convert a String to a double, or what?

Your final example using Double.parseDouble is the correct way to convert the String representation of a double into an actual double data type. What data type does your array hold? Most likely you just need to cast.

The data needs to be a double. I did find out that the second example was the way to go. Now I'm just having trouble getting the 2 user inputs into a 2D array. The first input works fine but the second produces an error. Since it's a new problem, I made a seperate thread, Second number not getting into 2D array
