I am having problems filling an array of objects with a txt file. It seems to me that it should work, but I get all 0's printed out. Please help! I cannot write the rest of my code until I figure this out.

Also I get this error message: "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 50
at ChargeAccountValidation.main(ChargeAccountValidation.java:29)"

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;

/**
   
*/

public class ChargeAccountValidation
{
   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
   {
      final int SIZE = 50;
      int[] numbers = new int[SIZE];
      int result, searchValue;
      
      int index;
      
      // Open the file.
      File file = new File("accounts.txt");
      Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file);
      
      for (index = 0; index < numbers.length; index++)
      {
         // Read the file contents into the array
         while (inputFile.hasNext() && index < numbers.length)
         {
            numbers[index] = inputFile.nextInt();
            index++;
         }
      System.out.println(numbers[index]);
      }
      // Close the file.
      inputFile.close();
   }
}

You have most of the correct code.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;

/**
   
*/

public class ChargeAccountValidation
{
   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
   {
      final int SIZE = 50;
      int[] numbers = new int[SIZE];
      int result, searchValue;
      
      int index = 0;
      
      // Open the file.
      File file = new File("accounts.txt");
      Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file);

         while (inputFile.hasNextInt() && index < numbers.length)
         {
            numbers[index] = inputFile.nextInt();
            System.out.println(numbers[index]);
            index++;
         }

      }
      // Close the file.
      inputFile.close();
   }
}

I only changed a few things: removed the for loop, initialized the index to 0, and changed the while loop's condition from hasNext() which will match basically anything to hasNextInt() which will match only an int. Alternatively you could use a for loop to do this, but combining a while & a for makes no sense:

for (int index = 0; index < numbers.length; index++){
if (inputFile.hasNextInt()) numbers[index] = inputFile.nextInt();
}

Thank you!!! Works like a charm.
