Thread: Object creation from a input file and storing in an Array list

ok, so i am a complete java noob and would be incredibly grateful if someone could show me how to create objects from a file and store them in an arraylist

below is what i have so far

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class People {
 
	private String userName;
 
 
	public People (String User)
{ 
		userName = User;
 
}
 
	static ArrayList <People> Users = new ArrayList <People>();
 
	public static void main(String[] args) 
{
 
 
		try 
{ 
 
			File file1 = new File ("people.txt");
			Scanner Filereader1 = new Scanner (file1);
			while (Filereader1.hasNextLine())
 
 
{ 				
				String Name = Filereader1.nextLine();
 
				People User = new People(Name);
				Users.add(User);
 
 
}
 
			System.out.println(Users);
 
} 			
 
		catch (FileNotFoundException e) 
{
 
			System.out.println("error" + e);
}
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
	}
 
}

nvm i think i got it

error was i was not using capital letters when executing it in dos
AAHRHHAHRAHARHRAH

Hello LabX and welcome to the Java Programming Forums

Does this work as expected?

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class People {
 
    static ArrayList<String> Users = new ArrayList<String>();
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        try {
            File file1 = new File("people.txt");
            Scanner Filereader1 = new Scanner(file1);
            while (Filereader1.hasNextLine()) {
                int i = 0;
                String Name = Filereader1.next();
                Users.add(i, Name);
                i++;
            }
 
            Object[] elements = Users.toArray();
            for (int a = 0; a < elements.length; a++) {
                System.out.println(elements[a]);
            }
 
        }
 
        catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            System.out.println("error" + e);
        }
 
    }
 
}
