Thread: Football Results

Right, i'm doing a piece of work for uni and basically i need it to read in a set of results that are contained in a .txt file and split them at the delimiter (which i have managed to do). The problem is i need to take these results and organise them into a table which looks something like this :

<home_team_name> [<home_team_score>] | <away_team_name> [<away_team_score>]

Then i need to make sure that all of the scores read in were valid i.e. both names and both scores were there. If a team name or score was missing then it should not be output to the screen.

Finally at the end i need to output something that will say... "The valid match count was # . Total goals scored were #. Invalid match count was # .

I'm very new to java this is one of my first pieces of work. Would i need to split each of the names and scores into a seperate class? I'll post what code i have so far. Thanks!!

 
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
 
public class linebased {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader inputStream = null;
 
        try {
            inputStream = 
                new BufferedReader(new FileReader("results2.txt"));
 
            String text;
            while ((text = inputStream.readLine()) != null) {
 
            	String [] splitupText = text.split(":");			// split the text into multiple elements
 
    			for ( int i = 0; i < splitupText.length; i++ ) {	// loop over each element
 
    				String nextBit = splitupText[i];				// get the next element (indexed by i)
 
    				nextBit = nextBit.trim();						// use the trim method to remove leading and trailing spaces
 
    				System.out.println(nextBit);					// display the next element	
 
    			}
 
            }
        } finally {
            if (inputStream != null) {
                inputStream.close();
            }
        }
    }
}

Right i've been working on the basics of this today and i've totally changed the code to this:
Keep getting the following:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException
at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Scanner.next(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source)
at examplereader.main(examplereader.java:32)
I'm not sure what to do with this exactly its all a mess... i guess in need to parse the integer to a string?
any help whatsoever would be good thanks.
