Scanner/array troubles

This program is to have to user enter numbers in the top text field and then be able to sort them and/or show the min number.

Ive been working on this code for multiple hours now today, I have it almost done but I cant not get my buildArray class to work properly. Its mostly the scanner method Im having troubles with. I just want to be able to use "," and not have them show up as -1.

Any help is appreciated if I can just get the commas to work I can be done.

I wouldn't work with an int[] at all with unknown sized data. Use a List<Integer> since you don't need to resize it. Lists have a bonus as well, they are both sortable by collections and also allow the use of Collections.min on them, so that makes the other methods a little on the useless side.

I don't know what your input data is. It appears it should take the format of:

x, x, x, x, x
x, x, x, x, x, x, x
x, x, x
x
...

Is that right? Given the findMins method I'd expect you want to provide the above data, and then for each line you want to show the minimum independent of the other lines, is that right?
BTW, I'd personally use a StringTokenizer instead of the scanner for this.
