technobiru: populate an array from txt file or scanner

Monday, May 26, 2014

hello everyone,

I have a simple txt file, each line simply containing 1 word.

I would like each work to represent an index of the array

im having some difficulty populating an array from either a txt file or a scanner.

i seem to be able to fill the scanner so to speak with the contents of the text file but not the array. I don't know how to syntax it

ill attach my file an also paste my code below.

I would appreciate some help.

thanks

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import java.util.Scanner;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class ReadFile {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Location of file to read

File file = new File("dictionary.txt");

try {

Scanner sc = new Scanner(file);

int count = 0;

while (sc.hasNextLine()) {

count++;

sc.nextLine();

}

System.out.println(count);

while (sc.hasNextLine()) {

String line = sc.nextLine();

System.out.println(line);

}

sc.close();

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}
