    Default HELP PLEASE! How to save and call back user data input.

    Hi everyone! My project is creating a timetable and the user can input the data his/herself to the timetable which best fits their own schedule. However currently im hardcoding the data in the code. I would like to know how do i get the data input and then be able to save and be able to call back the data whenever i run the program? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    The Java API docs on java.io.ObjectOutputStream contain a pretty good example with working code - did you try it? In your case, you could write your Object[][] with ObjectOutputStream.writeObject() and read it back in again with ObjectInputStream.readObject(). It's that easy. Whenever I try something new or that I can't remember how it works in Java, I always write a very simple java file that tests only that feature in isolation. I have a folder called 'scratch' that has hundreds of such programs in them. Get into the habit of saving your little test classes, they're worth their weight in gold when your brain fills up and you can't remember every last feature of the Java API. For this one, create a trivial Object[][], write it to a file via ObjectOutputStream, and then assign the same object to another reference via ObjectInputStream and print its contents (try java.util.Arrays.toString()) on the console. Once you're confident you know how Object I/O works, integrate what you've learned into your app.
