Question

i have been using an actionListenerto pass text from numerous TextFields into a text file named writetouser.txtthis works fine though i have noticed that this text is just dumped and is not in the format of an array. For the purposes of this application it is necessary that i am able to search this text file and show values based on searches entered. I have a file which reads the data from the text file and have attempted to convert the data to CSV‘s so it is is readable as an array. i am wondering what must be entered instead of user, pass in order to take the text from inside the filewritetouser.txt.

Addendum:

public void ReadUser()
 {
  try{
// Open the file
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("writetouser.txt");
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
String strLine;
//Read File Line By Line
while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null)   {
  // Print the content on the console
  //System.out.println (strLine);

    String[] items = strLine.split(",");
    String[][] usersArray = new String [10][2];

    for (String item : items) {
       System.out.println(item);
    }
}
       //Close the input stream
in.close();
}catch (Exception e){
    //Catch exception if any
  System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}

}
}

here is an example of the data which i am trying to separate. it is entered into textfile as

 inputUser = user + ", " + pass;
 writetouser.WriteToUser(inputUser);

Answer 1

Upon reviewing my code i noticed that the two pieces of code below were doing the exact same thing which is why i was being presented with each piece of info twice.

A

 for (String item : items) {...}

B

for (int i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
    String item = items[i];
    ....
    }
