Java programming

  Asked By: Diem    Date: Oct 22    Category: Java    Views: 901
  

I'm just starting out in Java programming, and I was hoping that
someone could possibly suggest to me how I could modify the following
code to read the data in from the text file and store it into a 2
dimensional array instead of just a 1 dimensional array.


dataFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("c:\\data.txt"));

public float[] getOneLine() throws IOException,NumberFormatException
{
String dataLine = dataFile.readLine();
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(dataLine);
int numTokens = tokenizer.countTokens();
float[] temps = new float[numTokens];
for (int i = 0; i < numTokens;i++){
String number = tokenizer.nextToken();
data[i] = Float.parseFloat(number);
}
return data;
}

private void storeData() throws IOException
{
int index = 0;
for (int row = 0; row < 12; row++){
float[] thisRow = reader.getOneLine();
for (int column = index; column < thiscolumn.length;
column++){
array[row][column] = thisRow[column];
}
row++;
}
}

The following program read  the data  shown below it as you describe.


/* DataReader.java April 19, 2003 */

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

/** Reads data from a text  file into a 2 dimensional
* floating point array.
* This assumes the data is formatted as row  and columns
* with each line of text representing one row of data
* and each column  is separated by a space or tab.
* If the number  of rows and columns is not known ahead
* of time, then the program has to be modified to count
* to count them and initialize the array  to the correct
* dimension.

public class DataReader{
