I have a .txt file with, for example, this content:
variable1="hello";
variable2="bye";
testing3="parameter";
whatisthis4="hello";
var5="exampletext";
example=3;
wellthen=8;
---
It read in the file, line by line, fine until I added a way of saving the data.
This whole code plus another reader (with other variable names of course) is wrapped in a try-catch statement.
String path_playlist = new File("").getAbsolutePath();
String fileName_playlist = path_playlist
+ "/src/dancefusion/game/playlist.txt";
FileReader fr_playlist = new FileReader(fileName_playlist);
BufferedReader br_playlist = new BufferedReader(fr_playlist);
int track_counter = track_sum*9;
String trackinfos[] = new String[track_counter];
while(track_counter < 0)
{
System.out.println("linecount="+track_counter);
trackinfos[track_counter] = br_playlist.readLine();
System.out.println(trackinfos[track_counter]);
track_counter--;
}
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(trackinfos));
In this example track_sum equals 1.
The while loop should read in the file one line at a time but only reads null's:
[null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null]
Update 1:
The while-condition was set up the wrong way... thanks!
The corrected version:
while(track_counter < 0)
However, now it gives me an exception with an "ArrayOutOfBounds: 9".
Any guesses?
Final Update:
As mentioned by @GiorgiMoniava, I just needed to reduce track_counter by one before starting to read in as in Java arrays begin with 0, thanks!
int track_counter = track_sum*8;
String trackinfos[] = new String[track_counter];
track_counter--;
while(track_counter >= 0)
{
System.out.println("linecount="+track_counter);
trackinfos[track_counter] = br_playlist.readLine();
System.out.println(trackinfos[track_counter]);
track_counter--;
}
Maybe one of you can figure out what I did wrong...
Of course I can deliver more information/code if needed! Thanks in advance!
