problem with exceptions

[dj kourampies]

Hello to everybody. I have a project in which I want to put some variables to a txt file. In the code i have the class asthenhs where i have the variables i want to put into file also i have the write_new_record open_file read_file close_file and file_close. The problem is in write_new_record. I can normally enter in the output the variables but when i press enter finally i got this

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at ofthalmiatreio.Asthenhs.write_new_record(Asthenhs. java:223)
at ofthalmiatreio.Asthenhs.main(Asthenhs.java:335)
Java Result: 1

Have anyone idea whats this i tried days to find the problem, but nothing...

You have to be pretty clear with your question.Please explain properly or share ur code.

As far as ur explanation is concerned the variable is not having anything other than null.

the method write_new_record where is the problem. write_new_record i use it for writing objects into file firstly it try to find if in the file exist object with same account else write the object in file

#  public void write_new_record(String fileName){  
#

1. public static void main(String [] args){
2.
3. Asthenhs a= new Asthenhs(); //****methodos main gia dokimi tis klasis
4. a.open_file("Asthenhs.txt");
5. // a.read_file("Asthenhs2.txt");
6. a.write_new_record("Asthenhs.txt");
7. a.CloseFile();
8. }

of course the main method.
Ok my problem is that i want to put into txt file the variables name surname id ...Firstly i open txt with method open_file method. With write_new_record the user first looks if the account of patient is already exist in file. Else it put all the variables in the file. I think that the problem is some null variable or something with the exceptions.

[RamyaSivakanth]

Your code is not properly framed.

U have to put comments properly.

One small suggestion.Try to print these values firrst for debugging.then u try to write

iidd=input.nextInt();
# b = (Asthenhs) a.Find(iidd);
# if(b.getId()==iidd){
# System.out.println("This ID is for another patient.Try again.");
# return;
# }
# System.out.println("Give the name of patient: ");
# namee=input.next();
# System.out.println("Give the surname of the patient: ");
# surnamee=input.next();
# System.out.println("Give the phone of the patient: ");
# phonn=input.nextInt();
# System.out.println("Give the insurance of the patient: ");
# insurancee=input.next();
# // System.out.println("Give the ID of the patient: ");
# //1a.ID=input.nextInt();

Actually i have tried System.out.println(idd+namee+surnamee+phonn+insura ncee); in ouput it show me the result of the variables but after this

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at ofthalmiatreio.Asthenhs.write_new_record(Asthenhs. java:223)
at ofthalmiatreio.Asthenhs.main(Asthenhs.java:335)
Java Result: 1

[dj kourampies]

ok i find something. In file close method i used Filewriter out1; instead of Formatter out1 with this change

public void CloseFile(){

if(out1!=null){
it works but none variable stored in the txt

out1.close();
}
}

[RamyaSivakanth]

My doubt is u are trying 2 print a different thing other than what u are writing.
Example
System.out.println(idd+namee+surnamee+phonn+insura ncee);
Just put the below s.o.p

outputt.write(iID);
# outputt.write(" ");
System.out.println(phoneE)# outputt.write(phonE); // u above phonn here phoneE

System.out.println(a.getName())
# outputt.write(a.getName());
# outputt.write(" ");
System.out.println(a.getSurName())

# outputt.write(a.getSurname());
# outputt.write(" ");
System.out.println(phonE)

# outputt.write(phonE);
# outputt.write(" ");
System.out.println(a.getInsurance())

# outputt.write(a.getInsurance());
# outputt.write(" ");

[dj kourampies]

ok have a look at this:

init:
deps-jar:
compile-single:
run-single:
Άνοιγμα του ήδη υπάρχοντος αρχείου Asthenhs.txt
Give the client's ID
1
Give the name of patient: 
kris
Give the surname of the patient: 
athanasiadis
Give the phone of the patient: 
47508
Give the insurance of the patient: 
ika
kris
athanasiadis
47508
ika
The information is stored.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 11 seconds)

this is the output, the problem is that none of this variables stored in file.

[emceenugget]

i may have missed something, but you seem to have two BufferedReader objects, output and outputt... you instantiate output but not outputt, and you call outputt.write() but not output.write()

[dj kourampies]

ok I see what you mean but already i have change it(if you mean in open_file method)

 public void OpenFile(String fileName) {             //anoigma arxeiou gia eggrafi
        try {
            File name = new File(fileName);
            out = new FileWriter(name.getPath(), true);
            out1 = new BufferedWriter(out);
            if (name.createNewFile()) {                //ean den iparxei idi to arxeia
                System.out.println("Ανοιγμα του αρχείου " + fileName); //ektipwnetai analogo minima
            } else {
                System.out.println("Άνοιγμα του ήδη υπάρχοντος αρχείου " + name.getPath());
            }
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            System.err.println("Σφάλμα κατά τη δημιουργία του αρχείου");  //sfalma kata ti dimiourgia tou arxeiou
            System.exit(0);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println("Σφάλμα κατά το άνοιγμα αρχείου");        //sfalma kata to anoigma tou arxeiou
        }
    }

and i supposed you mean bufferedWriter!

[dj kourampies]

ok certainly my problem is in fileWrite or bufferWriter . Probably in the second but i thing i vee changed it and i instantiate outputt --> outputt = new BufferedWriter(out);. But again the same it run normally but none variable is been writing into the file.

[RamyaSivakanth]

Hi,
Please attach the code .We need to see.You are declaring one and using one.lot of confusions.
"We can't give solutions with assumptions.Higly impossible"

How the data got structured in Asthenhs.txt.send the Asthenhs.txt also.

Lot of errors and code has to be streamlined properly.No comments ...nothing

[dj kourampies]

the problem is that txt is empty.

[RamyaSivakanth]

first checjk the file is empty then do manipulations.
