I am attempting to read a text file into a linear linked list of objects. the text file(payfile.txt) contains the following info
DEBBIE STARR F 3 W 1000.00
JOAN JACOBUS F 9 W 925.00
DAVID RENN M 3 H 4.75
ALBERT CAHANA M 3 H 18.75
DOUGLAS SHEER M 5 W 250.00
SHARI BUCHMAN F 9 W 325.00
SARA JONES F 1 H 7.50
RICKY MOFSEN M 6 H 12.50
JEAN BRENNAN F 6 H 5.40
JAMIE MICHAELS F 8 W 150.00
and i would like to insert the first names into their own list, last names into a list, and so on. I have to do some add and remove modifications to the LLLs throughout the rest of the problem, i am just unsure this is the correct coding for reading the file into the list.
I am getting a nullpointerexception @ firstname.addFirst(lineScanner.next());
so far i have this :
public class Payroll
{
private LineWriter lw;
private ObjectList output, input;
private ObjectList firstname, lastname, gender, tenure, rate, salary;
public Payroll(LineWriter lw)
{
this.lw = lw;
}
public void readfile()
{
File file = new File("payfile.txt");
try{
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file);
while(scanner.hasNextLine())
{
String line = scanner.nextLine();
Scanner lineScanner = new Scanner(line);
lineScanner.useDelimiter(" ");
while(lineScanner.hasNext())
{
firstname.addFirst(lineScanner.next());
lastname.addFirst(lineScanner.next());
gender.addFirst(lineScanner.next());
tenure.addFirst(lineScanner.next());
rate.addFirst(lineScanner.next());
salary.addFirst(lineScanner.next());
}
}
}catch(FileNotFoundException e)
{e.printStackTrace();}
}

You need to initialize
ObjectListvariable before calling methods on it. By default Object is null in javaWhat you also need is deliminator which is one or more white space
