I have 1,000 lines of data in a text file and I would like each line to be its own float [].
1,1,1,1,1,1
2,2,2,2,2,2
3,3,3,3,3,3
Would result in:
float[0] = {1,1,1,1,1,1}
float[1] = {2,2,2,2,2,2}
float[2] = {3,3,3,3,3,3}
Is this possible? I could only find examples of loading an entire file into an array. I tried hardcoding all the arrays, but exceeded the byte character limit of ~65,000
Try the following:
// this list will store all the created arrays
List<float[]> arrays = new ArrayList<float[]>();
// use a BufferedReader to get the handy readLine() function
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("myfile.txt"));
// this reads in all the lines. If you only want the first thousand, just
// replace these loop conditions with a regular counter variable
for (String line = reader.readLine(); line != null; line = reader.readLine()) {
String[] floatStrings = line.split(",");
float[] floats = new float[floatStrings.length];
for (int i = 0; i < floats.length; ++i) {
floats[i] = Float.parseFloat(floatStrings[i]);
}
arrays.add(floats);
}
Note that I haven't added any exception handling (readLine(), for example, throws IOException).
use a LineIterator to read each line without loading the whole file
for each line, use a regular expression to extract figures like (\d\.)+ and iterator over the matches found with methods like find() and group()

Loop over the line-delimited contents of the file with .split("\n") and then cast each result as float array. Here's how to convert the string into a float for you => http://www.devdaily.com/java/edu/qanda/pjqa00013.shtml
