I am trying to read a file and add the contents to an arraylist
object ( .txt
file contains strings), but I am totally lost. Any advice?
You should read the file one line by one line and store it to the list.
Here is the code you should replace your while (inputFile.hasNext())
:
Scanner input = null;
try
{
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
input = new Scanner( new File("") );
while ( input.hasNext() )
list.add( input.nextLine() );
}
finally
{
if ( input != null )
input.close();
}
And you should close the Scanner
after reading the file.
If you're using Java 7+, then you can use the Files#readAllLines()
to do this task for you, instead of you writing a for
or a while
loop yourself to read the file line-by-line.
File f = new File(filename); // The file from which input is to be read.
ArrayList<String> list = null; // the list into which the lines are to be read
try {
list = Files.readAllLines(f.toPath(), Charset.defaultCharset());
} catch (IOException e) {
// Error, do something
}
You can do it in one single line with Guava.
final List<String> lines = Files.readLines(new File("path"), Charsets.UTF8);
