Hello everyone.
I want to read a file into an array - we will call it myArray1. I want to split the file at a certain point, and make the rest of the file go to myArray2. I have tried using while loop inside a for loop to do this, my attempt is show below. Please do note that I am new to java. Thankyou for your help.


Note: There are 35 numbers in the file

import java.util.*;
import java.math.*;
import java.io.*;


class Test{
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
	Integer[] myArray1 = new Integer[20];
	Integer[] myArray2 = new Integer[15];
	
	//Reading Rectangle and Triangle address from file 3.....
		Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("Please specify file name:");
		String fileName = reader.nextLine();
		File inputFile = new File(fileName);
		reader = new Scanner(inputFile);
		
		
		/*  
		IMPORTANT: We are splitting up File .  The first 20 numbers of file will go to myArray1, and the next 15 goes to myArray2*/
		for(int i = 0; i<35; i ++){
			while (i<20){
				myArray1[i] = reader.nextInt();
				System.out.println("Rectangle is" +myArray1[i]);
				i++;
			}
			while (i>19){
				myArray2[i] = reader.nextInt();
				System.out.println("TTTTTTTTTT is" +myArray2[i]);
				i++;
			}
		}
		
		
	}
}

The first bit works - putting the first 20 numbers to myArray1, but the second bit doesn't. I can't work out why.

for(int i = 0; i<35; i ++){
			if (i<20){
				myArray1[i] = reader.nextInt();
				System.out.println("Rectangle is" +myArray1[i]);
				i++;
			}
			if (i>19){
				myArray2[i] = reader.nextInt();
				System.out.println("TTTTTTTTTT is" +myArray2[i]);
				i++;
			}
		}

Make them ifs instead, otherwise they will try to read 35 characters i number of times.

Thanks, it makes more sense. I changed one bit

 for(int i = 0; i<35; )

Took out the i++, since i didn't want it to loop 35 times. But, still there is still "Arrayout of bounds" error, and problem points to this line:

 myArray2[i] = reader.nextInt();

Still, the first 20 gets put in, no problem. But, the next 15 does not get put in.

Are you still using the if statements? Cause if so, you need to have the i++ in there?

Oh and I didnt look at your code closely enough.

for(int i = 0; i<35; i ++){
			if (i<20){
				myArray1[i] = reader.nextInt();
				System.out.println("Rectangle is" +myArray1[i]);
			}
			if (i>=20){
				myArray2[i] = reader.nextInt();
				System.out.println("TTTTTTTTTT is" +myArray2[i]);
			}
		}

Does that do you any better?

[NoChoiceMr]

Still the same problem. I really don't understand why this does not work.

for(int i = 0; i<35; i ++){
			if (i<20){
				myArray1[i] = reader.nextInt();
			}
			if (i>19){
				myArray2[i-20] = reader.nextInt();
			}
		}

		System.out.println("\nArray 1 contains:");
		for (int i = 0; i < myArray1.length; i++)
			System.out.print(myArray1[i] + " ");
		System.out.println("\nArray 2 contains:");
		for (int i = 0; i < myArray2.length; i++)
			System.out.print(myArray2[i] + " ");

Works for me.

You have to do [i-20] because the first index of myArray2 begins at 0 not 20. what might actually be better is:

myArray2[i-myArray1.length] = reader.nextInt()

Thanks.

It was easy to miss! atleast for me
