YES, I do.
1)My Process method isnt working and displaying the .txt file I opened.
2) I dont know how to correctly create the "tags" my teacher specifies to make each # tag represent a color.
3) I need help counging the array in 5's (in a row) to display them each in a color....ex. 5 of the same # horizantal = blue, 5 vertical in a row = red...5 right diagnal in a row = green, 5 left diagnol = purple.

PLEASE HELP ME. Im desprate. I do not want a 0 for a grade.

Ok NORM, for example when I click "Read Data" in my menu, it opens my file usccessfully. However when I click "Process" in the menu, I get an array of 0's back in return. When I am supposed to get my SAME ARRAY BACK, color coded with the tags.

when tag = 0 (black)...tag= 1(blue), tag=2(red), tag=3(green), tag =4(purple)

This is totally stressing me out and I dont know how to finish this ,and get it work. =(

Here is the edited code. I deleted the tag color assignments at the end. So this can work.

**I just deleted the tags at the end with the colors. That is what made the compilation errors, however I still have problems with the Process method above.

**Next is how to Number coordinate the tags w/ the colors I need. Because the way I tried it did not work apparently.

Hello All,

I am stuck on my assignment and It is due very soon.


Assignment: Develop a GUI-based program to read the entries of a matrix from a text file. The first number is the number of rows; the second number is the number of columns. The remaining numbers are integers between 1 and 9 in row by row order. Scan the matrix, highlight (display the entries in different color) all cells that form a group of five cells with the same value horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

Example of text(.txt) file:
7 7
3 6 2 3 1 6 1
3 6 6 6 6 6 9
3 9 3 6 2 9 3
3 5 9 4 9 5 5
3 2 8 9 8 6 7
2 4 9 3 9 9 8
1 3 9 9 9 9 8

Example of output:
3 6 2 3 1 6 1
3 6 6 6 6 6 9
3 9 3 6 2 9 3
3 5 9 4 9 5 5
3 2 8 9 8 6 7
2 4 9 3 9 9 8
1 3 9 9 9 9 8


* ^^this would be what it would look like when displayed in the GUI. But it would be colored. Anything that has 5 in a row ...

EX.
0=black(when there is no combo. of 5)
1=blue(horizantal combo of 5)
2=red(vertical combo of 5)
3=green(right diagnol combo of 5)
4=purple(left diagol combo of 5)


MY QUESTION:
I think there is a problem with the code that reads in the file to see that the numbers are getting into the 2D array because when I click "Read Data" in my menu, it opens my file usccessfully. However when I click "Process" in the menu, I get an array of 0's back in return. When I am supposed to get my SAME ARRAY BACK, color coded with the tags.

when tag = 0 (black)...tag= 1(blue), tag=2(red), tag=3(green), tag =4(purple)

This is totally stressing me out and I dont know how to finish this ,and get it work.

I am supposed to use the readFile method. Not deepToString. Ive been stuck on this for days now. Ive been all over the internet & back trying to figure this out. And once again, I am back here hoping for some legit help.

My program is based off of what the teacher gave me. I am going off her code. I didnt start this from scratch, she did. Therefore all of this confuses me being that I did not make it myself.

She posts comments in the code as to where things should go. I thought I did it correct, but apparently did not. I AM NEW AT THIS. I DONT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING AT ALL.

But I know the problem must be the problem must be in the ReadData method...or Process method...because I am STILL getting the SAME matrix of 0's back when I press Process in my menu.

Sorry for the duplicate posts. Im new to this site, and cant seem to find you DELETE button.

One question is: Does the existing code read the data in the file and store it correctly in the array?
To see if that part of the code is working, print out the contents of the array where the data is stored after it was read. An easy way to print out the contents of a 2D array is the method I suggested in post#8
System.out.println("an ID "+ java.util.Arrays.deepToString(theArrayNameHere));

Check what is printed against what is in the file to be sure it has been read and stored OK.

Thanks for responding. Where would I put this in my code?
System.out.println("an ID "+ java.util.Arrays.deepToString(theArrayNameHere));

Ok well I tried this in my ReadFile methof of my FiveInARow.java class. This is the only thing I changed. I got back the same 0's as before.

public void ReadFile()
 {
  // Initialize TAG(s) to 0
  for(int i =0; i< tag.length; i++)
    for(int j =0; i< tag.length; j++)
       tag[i][j] = 0;
 
  //Place open dialogue here
  String filePath = null;
  String fileName = null;
 
      JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
      chooser.setDialogType(JFileChooser.OPEN_DIALOG );
      chooser.setDialogTitle("Open Data File");
 
         int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
         if( returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) 
          {
             filePath = chooser.getSelectedFile().getPath();
             fileName = chooser.getSelectedFile().getName();
           }
 
 
  // Define & Instantiate File
  Scanner inputStream = new Scanner(filePath);
  row  = inputStream.nextInt();
  col  = inputStream.nextInt();
 
  for(int i =0; i< row; i++)    // rows
  {
   for(int j = 0; j < col; j++)   //columns
   {
     System.out.println("an ID "+ java.util.Arrays.deepToString(matrix));
   }
  }
 
 } // End of ReadFile method

i just added: System.out.println("an ID "+ java.util.Arrays.deepToString(matrix)); replacing the matrix[i][j] = inputStream.nextInt(); that I had there before(what she put)

still not working

The println() should NOT be inside of any loops. It will print the whole contents of the array with a single execution.

Ok NORM, I tried what you suggested and once again, it did not work. I tried putting the println() statement after my ReadFile() method in my FiveInARow.java class but that did not work. (BETWEEN THE ReadFile() & Process() methods). -___-

I would really appreciate it if you really guided my through this, because what you are suggesting does not work at all. both times. Can you try to compile this in your Java compiler? Because I am usng DrJava and it is not working at all. This is very frusterating. And I cannot get anything to work. Let alone displaying my ARRAY.

Mind you I havent even gotten to the tags yet. I thought this site was helpful learning.

LOOK BELOW TO SEE WHERE:
