Okay i posted a question like a day ago and didn't get no response, I did however figure out the problem. The problem I am having now with is the fact that it finds the numbers that i want it to but it also adds a zero which is in the array even though i tell the array not to take that into consideration. If there was a way to give you the text file I would be more than willing but i don't know how too since i am new here but the numbers start from zero to 194 because they are distances between cities. I'm not looking for an answer just a direction to go in. I have checked the API for java and that is no help. I am hoping that someone can help, it will be greatly appreciated!!!!
