Question

I have two arrays the store the values of two lines that are read in from a file. After some processing in my GUI class it should show to rectangles side by side in the middle of the frame. However only one ever shows up. I have tried every way I know how to get the other one to show up but no dice. Here is my code:

public class PortraitFileReader 

    public static ArrayList<Drawable> readFile(File a) {
    File myFile;
    ArrayList<Integer> values = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    ArrayList<Drawable> couple = new ArrayList<Drawable>();
    Man aMan;
    Woman aWoman;
    Point aPoint;
    String input;
    String [] array = null;
    String [] array2 = null;
    try {
        myFile = a;
        Scanner inFile = new Scanner(myFile);
        input = inFile.nextLine();
        array = input.split(", ");

        while(inFile.hasNext()) {
            input = inFile.nextLine();
            array2 = input.split(", ");
            System.out.println(Arrays.toString(array2));        
        }

        if(array[0].equals("man")) {
            for(int i=1; i<array.length-1; i++) {
                    int current = Integer.parseInt(array[i]);
                    values.add(current);
                    System.out.println(values);
                }
                aPoint = new Point(values.get(0), values.get(1));
                aMan = new Man(aPoint, values.get(2), values.get(3), array[5]);
                couple.add(aMan);
                values.clear();


        }

        if(array[0].equals("woman")) {
            for(int i=1; i<array.length-1; i++) {
                int current = Integer.parseInt(array[i]);
                values.add(current);
                System.out.println(values);
            }
            aPoint = new Point(values.get(0), values.get(1));
            aWoman = new Woman(aPoint, values.get(2), values.get(3), array[5]);
            couple.add(aWoman);
            values.clear();
        }

        if(array2[0].equals("man")) {
            for(int i=1; i<array2.length-1; i++) {
                int current = Integer.parseInt(array[i]);
                values.add(current);
                System.out.println(values);
            }
            aPoint = new Point(values.get(0), values.get(1));
            aMan = new Man(aPoint, values.get(2), values.get(3), array2[5]);
            couple.add(aMan);
            values.clear();
        }

        if(array2[0].equals("woman")) {
            for(int i=1; i<array2.length-1; i++) {
                    int current = Integer.parseInt(array[i]);
                    values.add(current);
                    System.out.println(values);
                }
            aPoint = new Point(values.get(0), values.get(1));
            aWoman = new Woman(aPoint, values.get(2), values.get(3), array2[5]);
            couple.add(aWoman);
            values.clear();
        }
    }

    catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        System.out.println("The file was not found.");
    }
    return couple;
}
}

This is the data that I’m reading in from the file:

man, 260, 100, 40, 80, Tom  
woman, 300, 100, 40, 80, Sally  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NOTE: the system.out.println’s are just there to test if each array had the right values in it.

Answer 1

When you are going through array2 checking if it is a woman, you are actually going through the variable array.

 for(int i=1; i<***array2***.length-1; i++) {
int current = Integer.parseInt(****array***[i]);

The same goes for when you are checking if array2 is a man

The effect of this is that you are processing the contents of the first line twice.
