*How to increment a number read from a saved text file?
I’m trying to add an account Number read from a file to an array and when I add a new data to the array the account number should be auto increment of the existing account number. The problem with my code is that it woks fine until i save it to a file. When I re-open the application the account number starts back from the beginning i.e if the saved acc number is 100,101 when I re-open the application the acc number starts from 100 again.
Please can any one Help Me read from the file and then write it back to file.*
The array is starting from the beginning when restart the application.But I was just wondering If any one can help me to find a solution for this
This is my code
import java.io.Serializable;
public class Student implements Serializable {
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
protected static int nextBankID=1000;
protected int accountNumber;
protected String fname;
protected String lname;
protected String phone;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
//constructor
public Student(String fname, String lname, String phone){
this.accountNumber = nextBankID++;
this.fname = fname;
this.lname = lname;
this.phone=phone;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
public void setFname(String fname) {
this.fname = fname;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
public void setLname(String lname) {
this.lname = lname;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
public void setPhone(String phone) {
this.phone = phone;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
public int getAccountNumber() {
return accountNumber;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
public void setAccountNumber(int accountNumber) {
this.accountNumber = accountNumber;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
public String getFname() {
return fname;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
public String getLname() {
return lname;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
public String getPhone() {
return phone;
}
@Override
public String toString(){
return "\n #Acc\tFirst Name"+"\tLast Name\t#Phone"
+ "\tBalance"+ "\tOverdraft\t\t\n"+accountNumber+""
+ "\t"+fname+"\t"+lname+"\t"+phone;
}
}

First create a table for maintaing account number.After writing text to the file, every time use to update the table of previous account no to new account no by incrementing the value of account no .
