I am trying to figure out why my file will not output. It is a data file including monitors and their refresh rates, response times, model of the monitor and brand. Whenever I run it I get at.util.Scanner errors and at com.company.MonitorsTest.loadMonitors error. Is the way the data file set up okay?

    class Monitors{
     public String brandName;
     public int modelNumber;
    public int refreshRate;
    public int responseTime;
}
public class MonitorsTest {

    public static void main(String[] args)   {
        Monitors[] gaming = new Monitors[100];
        int dataFile;
        int choice;

        System.out.println("\nDisplay  Monitors\n");


        System.out.println(" Enter one of the following commands:");
        System.out.println("(1)- Display the entire data file ");
        System.out.println("(2) - Display certain information on a monitor");
        System.out.println("(3) - Display a histogram");
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println("Enter 1,  2,  or 3  ");
          choice = keyboard.nextInt();

          dataFile = (loadMonitors(gaming));


              while ( choice != 3){
             if (choice < 1 || choice > 3) {
                 System.out.println("Enter 1,  2,  3  ");
                 choice = keyboard.nextInt();
             }
             else if (choice == 1){
                 System.out.println(dataFile);
             }
              }
    }


    private static int loadMonitors(Monitors[] gaming)  {
        int nMonitors = 0;
        try {
            File file = new File("C:\\Users\\kento\\IdeaProjects\\Program3\\src\\monitors.txt");
            Scanner scan = new Scanner(file);
            do {
                gaming[nMonitors] = new Monitors();
                gaming[nMonitors].brandName = scan.next();// Error here
                gaming[nMonitors].modelNumber = scan.next();// Error here
                gaming[nMonitors].responseTime = scan.nextDouble();
                gaming[nMonitors].refreshRate = scan.nextInt();// Error here
                  nMonitors;
            }

            while (gaming[nMonitors - 1].refreshRate != 0);
            --nMonitors;
        }
        catch (IOException ioe){
            System.out.println(" File access error"   ioe);
            nMonitors = 0;
        }
        return nMonitors;


        }

CodePudding user response：

The question code keeps changing, so it's not 100% possible to point a finger on the exact issue, but, I suspect that the data doesn't match the parsing workflow.

For me, I'd read the next line of data and then parse it separately, for example:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Test();
    }

    public Test() {
        System.out.println(loadMonitors(new Monitors[100]));
    }

    class Monitors {
        public String brandName;
        public String modelNumber;
        public int refreshRate;
        public double responseTime;
    }

    private int loadMonitors(Monitors[] gaming) {
        int nMonitors = 0;
        try (InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/stackoverflow/monitors.txt"); Scanner scan = new Scanner(is)) {
            while (scan.hasNextLine()) {
                String line = scan.nextLine();
                Scanner parser = new Scanner(line);

                System.out.println(line);

                Monitors monitor = new Monitors();
                monitor.brandName = parser.next();
                monitor.modelNumber = parser.next();
                monitor.responseTime = parser.nextDouble();
                monitor.refreshRate = parser.nextInt();

                gaming[nMonitors] = monitor;
                  nMonitors;
            }
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            System.out.println(" File access error"   ioe);
            nMonitors = 0;
        }
        return nMonitors;

    }
}

This will then output

Sceptre DCIP3       1       165
AOC     C24G1A      1       165
ASUS    VG278QR     0.5     144

*nb: Please note, I'm treating the monitors.txt file as an embedded resources, since your original code has it stored in the src directory, the above example is a more correct way for reading it.
