File to Array

[zacetnik]

Hi!

I want to read a file and save numbers to array . I saved numbers in array but this array is only available in try{}. How can I make it available also in main method?

Thanks.

public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		int[][]matrix;      //I want to save array in new array matrix
		matrix = getArray();  
        }

public static int[][] getArray()  
{
  
    File file = new File ("numbers.txt");
    Scanner s = null;
    
    try 
    {
   
       s = new Scanner (file);
       int[][] array=new int[10][10]; 
                
	for (int i=0;i<array.length;++i)
		for (int j=0;j<array[i].length;++j)
			array[i][j]= s.nextInt();   //how can i make this array reachable in main method???
      }
      catch (Exception e)
      {
          System.out.println(e);
      }
      
  }

    int[][] matrix;
    matrix = getArray();  
  }

  public static int[][] getArray()  
  {
    File file = new File ("numbers.txt");
    Scanner s = null;
    
    try 
    {
      s = new Scanner (file);
      int[][] array=new int[10][10]; 
                
      for (int i=0;i<array.length;++i)
        for (int j=0;j<array[i].length;++j)
          array[i][j]= s.nextInt();

      return array; // All you have to do is return the array back
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        System.out.println(e);
        return 0;
    }
  }
}

Thanks a lot.... I did tried that already but i forgot to put a return in catch{}

Works now...
