Splitting File into Array

Scottj996 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-03-2010, 05:33 PM

Hi,

Basically I have a text file that I want to read line by line (I have this bit working) and write it to an array.

However I want the data from the text file to be split after every character.

For example:

Text file line 1: ABCDEFG
Array: { A, B, C, D, E, F, G}

Could anyone give me any help on this?

Thanks

If you split a string on an empty string, it will split that string on characters:

Java Code

		String sb = "ABCDE";
		String[] s = sb.split("");
		for (String st : s ){
			System.out.println(st);
		}

You can get a character at a certain position in the string using the charAt() method:

Java Code

String str = "Hello";
str.charAt(1); // 'e'

Thanks for the replies. this has helped alot.

Does anyone know how to omit the first two lines from the input text file every time? As i do not want these in the array.

Use a "dummy read", ie. read them in but don't do anything with that data.

Java Code

// skip two lines
myReader.nextLine();
myuReader.nextLine();
