Problem with reading txt file into 2d array

[Liana Norpunova]

Hi Everyone!

I have a problem with reading data from the txt file into the 2d array. In general, the above code is workable. The only thing that doesn't work is: userdata[row][j] = tokens[j]; The problem is that my array "userdata" gets values "null". However, if I replace this code with "System.out.println(tokens[j]);", then I can see the values from the file "UserDataFile.txt". What is wrong in my code?

  
    public void readuserdatafromfile() throws IOException {
        try{
            FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("src/filetree/UserDataFile.txt");
            // Get the object of DataInputStream
            DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
            String strLine = "";
            String[] tokens = strLine.split("\\s");
            //Read file line by line
            int row = 0;
            while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null)   {
              // Copy the content into the array
              tokens = strLine.split("\\s");
              for(int j = 0; j < tokens.length; j++) {
                 userdata[row][j] = tokens[j];
              }
              row++;
            }
            //Close the input stream
            in.close();
            } catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
              System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
            }

           for(int i = 0; i < userdata.length; i++) {
               for(int j=0; j < userdata[i].length; j++)
                System.out.println(userdata[i][j]);
           }
    }

And how is this a Swing / AWT / SWT / JFace question?

It isn't. Off to Java in General we go!

Where do you define userdata? (It's harder to help when we don't have all the information.)

Hi! I've already solved this problem. I just read from this array into JTable, and everything worked fine.
