Reading data from file (java)

Question

I have a file that Im trying to collect data from so i can add the data to objects ive created but it doesnt seem to work and Im not sure why.

This is the code for trying to read the data:

    private void loadEmployeesFromFile(String fileName)
{
    File file = new File(fileName);
    Scanner scan = null;
    try {
        scan = new Scanner(file);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    int counter = 0;

    while(scan.hasNext())
    {
        scan.nextLine();
        counter++;
    }
    scan.close();

    employees = new Employee[counter];
    Scanner fileScan = null;
    try
    {
    fileScan = new Scanner(file).useDelimiter(",");
    }
    catch(FileNotFoundException e)
    {
        System.out.print("file was not found :/");
    }
    for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
    {
        String id = fileScan.next();
        String firstName = fileScan.next();
        String lastName = fileScan.next();
        String hireDate = fileScan.next();
        int shift = fileScan.nextInt();
        double hourlyPayRate = 0;
        double bonusRate = 0;

        switch(id.substring(0, 2))
        {
        case "PW":
            if(fileScan.hasNextDouble())
                hourlyPayRate = fileScan.nextDouble();
            else if(fileScan.hasNextInt())
                hourlyPayRate = (double)fileScan.nextInt();
            employees[i] = new ProductionWorker(id, firstName, lastName, hireDate, shift, hourlyPayRate);
            break;
        case "TM":
            if(fileScan.hasNextDouble())
                hourlyPayRate = fileScan.nextDouble();
            else if(fileScan.hasNextInt())
                hourlyPayRate = (double)fileScan.nextInt();
            if(fileScan.hasNextDouble())
                bonusRate = fileScan.nextDouble();
            else if(fileScan.hasNextInt())
                bonusRate = (double)fileScan.nextInt();
            double reqTrainingHrs = fileScan.nextDouble();
            double trainingHrsDone = fileScan.nextDouble();
            employees[i] = new TeamLeader(id, firstName, lastName, hireDate, shift, hourlyPayRate, bonusRate, reqTrainingHrs, trainingHrsDone);
            break;
        case "SU":
            double annualSalary = fileScan.nextDouble();
            bonusRate = fileScan.nextDouble();
            employees[i] = new ShiftSupervisor(id, firstName, lastName, hireDate, shift, annualSalary, bonusRate);
            break;  
        }
    }

    fileScan.close(); 
}

and this the data file:

    TL_1253,George,Fritzmen,11/27/13,4,12.5,0.02,100,27

For some odd reason when it gets to TL_1251 after it reads the name it immediately skips to trying to read in the shift.

this is the error that is generated:

line 244 is

int shift = fileScan.nextInt();

When limiting the loop to only run three times and only printing the shift and up i get

    PW_1234
    James
    Bond
    01/02/10
    1
    10 
    PW_1235
    John
    Brown
    02/03/10
    2
    10.5
    PW_1236
    Howard
    Johnson
    03/04/10
    3

the weird thing is that it ends up printing the hourlyPayRate which i have not coded to print yet

Answer 1

Looks like you have a typo. Try changing case "TM" to case "TL" .
