Thread: NullPointerException when trying to read Strings into an array of myObject

Hi All,

I've created an Object that holds two Strings, myObject. I have created and array of myObject and I am trying to parse some .csv data into it using a StringTokenizer however I keep getting a null pointer exception.

If I treat myObject as a simple Object and not as an array everything works ok.

PLEASE HELP.

Steve

P.S. I'm new to this forum, please excuse me if I've copied too much of my code into this query

import java.io.IOException;

public class ForexAnalyzer {
 
    public static void main (String args[])throws IOException {
        FileArrayProvider bulkReader = new FileArrayProvider();
        String[] rawData = bulkReader.readLines("src/EURUSD602.csv");
	    myObject[] parsedData = new myObject[bulkReader.getLength()];
        StringTokenizer token = null;
 
	    for (int i=0; i<bulkReader.getLength(); i++){
	    	 token = new StringTokenizer(rawData[i], ",");
 
	    	 while (token.hasMoreTokens()){
	    		 parsedData[i].setDate(token.nextToken());
	    		 parsedData[i].setTime(token.nextToken());
	    		 System.out.println("Element # " + i + " Date is " + parsedData[i].getDate() + " Time is " + parsedData[i].getTime());
	    	 }
 
	    }
	}
}
 
class myObject {
	 private String date;
	 private String time;
 
	 //Variable set
