I am reading from a file. After i tokenize and assign each value to a string field i call the constructor and initialize the object. next i want to add them to an array. I have done this with a vector and all i do is
ObjectVec.add(obj1);Mind you this is all in a while loop. here is the relevant code.
BufferedReader myFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("myfile.txt"));
String string1 = myFile.readLine();
//here is where i add obbjects to a vector
String f1,f2,f3;//assume text file has 3 fields as in name last name age
while(string1!=null){
token = new StringTokenizer(string1);
while(token.hasMoreTokens()){
f1 = token.nextToken();
f2 = token.nextToken();
f3 = token.nextToken();
ObjectCreator obj1 = new ObjectCreator (f1,f2,f3);//NOTE this is just code im writing down offhand. to explain the problem im running into. so the names are not relevant
//after i create it i just add the new object to the vector.
ObjectVec.add(obj1); // here thats it. its easy with the vector. next i just vlose the while loop and go tot he next line.
}
string1 = myFile.readLine();
}
// and thats it. my vector contains all of the objects created.How would i go about doing this with an array?
Here is what i think to do so far but none of it is working.
First i create the array of type ObjectCreator.
Then i just have the above code and instead of
ObjectVec.add(obj1);i have
newArray[k]= obj1; //then i incrument k outside the while loop in the same place where i go to the next line.Now i understand that the while loop will go indefinitely since it will keep going up but that wont really matter since the array will be filled and i have the array large enough as i need then the rest wont matter. Either way is there a better solution to this? Where after i create the object with the arg constructor i add it to the array?
