Thread: Trouble with writing/reading array to/from file

I'm using a mid-point displacement algorithm to generate a map, and the height values are then stored in an array.
The trouble I'm having is loading the numbers back out of the file and into the array when i press F7.

Here's my code for the reader/writer object:

public class Writer {
 
    final int DATA_SIZE = 257;
 
        FileWriter fw;
        Scanner sc;
        File filename = new File("savedmap.max");
 
 
    public void write(MPDGenerator mpd) throws IOException{
 
        fw = new FileWriter(filename);
 
 
           fw.write("version=1.0 seed="+mpd.RSEED+"\n");
        for(int j=0;j<DATA_SIZE-1;j++){
            for(int k=0;k<DATA_SIZE-1;k++){
 
                fw.write((int)(mpd.data[j][k]+2000));
 
            }
 
        }
 
 
 
 
    }
 
    public void read(MPDGenerator mpd) throws FileNotFoundException {
        sc = new Scanner(filename);
        sc.nextLine();
 
        for(int j=0;j<DATA_SIZE-1;j++){
            for(int k=0;k<DATA_SIZE-1;k++){
 
                if (sc.hasNextInt()) {
                    mpd.data[j][k] = (int) (sc.nextInt()-2000);
                }
            }
        }
        mpd.print();
    }
 
}

It doesn't give me any Errors, but doesn't reload the map.

mpd.print(); is the method in the generator which converts the height values into a texture array for the renderer(which uses lwjgl)

the +2000 and *-2000 is so it looks neater in the file.

doesn't reload the map.

Try debugging your code by adding printlns that print out was was read from the file before trying to store it into the array. That will show you what the program is reading from the file.

Where is the possible exception thrown by the method handled? Is there a call to printStackTrace() in the catch block?

I re-wrote the writing to file so that it created a new line for every value, and then followed your advice. It now works.

Thanks
