Answer 1

You are using the following code:

  String[][] turkcekonular=turkce.getKonular();

  System.out.println(turkcekonular[0][0]); 

But get java.lang.NullPointerException .

The reason for this because getKonular() returns an array initalised to size 10100 , however scanner does not contain any lines so scanner.hasNextLine() is false.

This means that turkcekonular[0] is null, as it was never set. Which means that turkcekonular[0][0] is trying to access a null object, so throws a NullPointerException

You should check if the object is null before trying to access it..

 if(turkcekonular[0] != null)
      System.out.println(turkcekonular[0][0]); 

and else where that this issue occurs.

(and you should figure out why your file is not read. Is it named correctly and exists in the specified path?)
