    Default Im having trouble storing ints that have been converted at the end of a line in a file into a 2d array.

    Im having trouble storing ints that have been converted at the end of a line in a file into a 2d array.

    Can Anyone Help me ??

    the problems is i dont know how to store it
    its keeping coming up null in the storing
    also in the switch.

    the strings have to be converted into ints depending on the rate of excellence.

    the code is below

    public void readMarksData(String fileName)throws FileNotFoundException
    {
    File dataFile = new File (fileName);
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(dataFile);

    //System.out.println(scanner.nextLine());
    cohortName = scanner.nextLine();
    int responces = scanner.nextInt();
    scanner.nextLine();
    //int numberOfStudentResponses=scanner.nextInt();
    //System.out.println("Number of Student Responces " + responces);

    testMarks = new int [responces][10];
    int num;


    for(int add=0; add<8; add++)
    {
    Scanner scanner2 = new Scanner(scanner.nextLine()).useDelimiter("[ ]*(,)[ ]*");
    for (int columns =0; columns<10; columns ++){
    for(int i =0; i<4; i++){
    switch(scanner2.next())
    {
    case "excellent": num=5; break;
    case "very good": num=4; break;
    case "good": num=3; break;
    case "average": num=2; break;
    case "poor": num=1; break;
    default : num=0; break;
    }
    testMarks[add][columns+num] = scanner.nextInt();
    }


    }
    scanner2.close();
    scanner.close();
    }


    }

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    its keeping coming up null
    Please copy and paste here the full text of the error messages.

    Is this the same problem?
    http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...ing-array.html

    Have you tried debugging the code as suggested in post#20 in that thread?

    Have you tried debugging the code as suggested in post#20 in that thread?
    You need to add the println statements so you can see what the computer sees when it executes the code.

    If you get errors, Please copy and paste here the full text of the error messages.

    The posted code needs to be formatted so the { and } aline properly.

    Post the code with the println statements that I've suggested be added for debugging.

    Also post the output from when you have executed the code with those printlns.

    You need to learn how to debug your code. I use printlns for debugging and find them very useful.

    Where did you post the version of the code with the println() statements for debugging?

    Where did you post the output for when the code with the debug printlns was executed?

    it keeps coming out blank because of the switch statement parameter so it isnt printing anything

    If you want help with your problem, this is what you have to do:

    Post the code with the debug println statements.

    Post the output from the program. Not an image.

    I guess asking for two things at the same time was confusing. Let me ask for them one at a time:

    Post the full code with the debug println statements.

    Default Re: Im having trouble storing ints that have been converted at the end of a line in a file into a 2d array.

    Ok, now you need to change the code some so that ALL data that is read in is printed before it is used. These statements need to be changed:
              Scanner scanner2 = new Scanner(scanner.nextLine()).
     switch(scanner2.next())

    Read from the Scanner into variables, print the value of the variable and then use that variable where the call to the Scanner class methods are now.

    That part of the code is not changed. The change is removing the calls to Scanner methods to a separate line,
    printing what was read and then the value read is used where the calls to the Scanner methods were.

    testMarks[add][columns + num] = scanner.nextInt(); - still null , but prints out the first line of the file

    what does "still null" mean? If there are error messages, copy the full text and print them.

    Change
    testMarks[add][columns + num] = scanner.nextInt();
    to
                    String aStr2 = scanner.next();            //read next tken
                    System.out.println("aStr2="+aStr2);  // show what was read
                    testMarks[add][columns+num] = Integer.parseInt(aStr2); // convert to int

    i do need to use the delimiter tho to suit the file above tho
    1. need to use the delimiter
    2. i need to read in all the ints on the lines in the file and store them in the 2d array
    3. i need to change the strings at the end of the line and store them in the 2d array
    these are what i need to do

    need to use the delimiter
    Use the scanner variable to call the useDelimiter() method:
    scanner2.useDelimiter("[ ]*(,)[ ]*");

    This was a problem I talked about in the other thread: The code chained together too many method calls in one statement instead of having one method call per statement.
