[SOLVED] Reading a text file into an Array

[DonCash]

Hello.

I have wrote some code to read a 10 lined text file line by line.
As it is reads each line, the string is added to an Array.

The only problem is, the code seems to be skipping the first line of the file.
All the other lines are stored into the Array without a problem.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this :confused: Thanks!

FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("myfile.txt");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));

String strLine;
String[] myarray;
myarray = new String[10];
		
while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
			
for (int j = 0; j < myarray.length; j++){
myarray[j] = br.readLine();
}
				
}
in.close();

[Java Tip]

Just remove the while loop and keep only the for loop.

Thank you Java Tip.

Don you got the point, ha. Just look at the code, there you called the readLine(). It not buffered the content, and you miss the first line.

At the end you don't have a line to read at all, NullPointerException :(

Yeah Eranga, I knew the answer really :p

I posted this so I could take some screenshots to add to my post about marking threads as Solved.

So what would be the correct way of writing this code? I'm having this problem but I don't have a while loop in my code.

for (int compteur = 0; compteur < myArray.length; compteur++)
{
String thisword = br.readLine();
myArray = thisword.split(",");
}

All variables are declared correctly, but if i do myArray[0], i'm actually getting the second line of my file. I tried to stick everything on one line and got a NullPointerException!

Help?:D

[Frankybb]

Figured it out, I needed to remove the readLine(); from the loop entirely like so :

String thisword = br.readLine();
for (int compteur = 0; compteur < myArray.length; compteur++)
{
myArray = thisword.split(",");
}

Example of java codes, student records?
I need some codes in java programming for my students records management.The processes of displaying the records on the output screen, adding new records, searching from the record, editing fields of an existing record and other relevant processes should be involved. Since new records may be added when the program is executed, the program should include a way for the new set of data to be printed in a text file.

If you have a question, please don't hijack a thread, but rather start your own new thread. Also, most folks here don't appreciate homework dumps. If you have a homework question, please show that you've put in some effort to solve it including your code attempt, and ask a specific question. Don't just dump your assignment requirements into the forum as it will only make folks not want to help. I'm locking this thread but invite you again to create your own thread.

Luck.
