Creating 2D Array with info from file and Saving it to a text file

Question

what im trying to do is take my nice little data structure and put it into a 2D array which i can copy and paste as code into my compiler... it takes TDPoints(like Point2D except has z value) which are in Faces(an arraylist of points, each face also has a color value), which are in objects(arraylist of faces, + other attributes)
for my sake im only working with one object, here is my code:
     private void saveArrayToTXT(String name) throws IOException
          double X;
          double Y;
          double Z;
          FileOutputStream xos = new FileOutputStream("C:/Program Files/Xinox Software/JCreatorV3LE/MyProjects/ThreeDRemake/Files/" + name + ".txt");
          DataOutputStream fos = new DataOutputStream(xos);//ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
          //oos.writeObject(myObject);
          //for(int ob = 0; ob < ((ArrayList)myObject).size(); ob++)
                    ThreeDObject object = (ThreeDObject)(((ArrayList)myObject).get(0));
                    fos.writeChars("{");
                    for(int shape = 0; shape < object.getFaces().size(); shape++)
                         fos.writeChars("{");
                         ArrayList faces = object.getFaces();
                         for(int count = 0; count < ((Face)(faces.get(shape))).getPoints().size(); count++)
                              X = ((TDPoint)(((Face)(faces.get(shape))).getPoints().get(count))).getX();
                              Y = ((TDPoint)(((Face)(faces.get(shape))).getPoints().get(count))).getY();
                             Z = ((TDPoint)(((Face)(faces.get(shape))).getPoints().get(count))).getZ();
                               fos.writeChars("" + (int)X);
                               fos.writeChars(",");
                               fos.writeChars("" + (int)Y);
                               fos.writeChars(",");
                               fos.writeChars("" + (int)Z);
                               if(count != ((Face)(faces.get(shape))).getPoints().size()-1)
                               fos.writeChars(",");
                               if((count == ((Face)(faces.get(shape))).getPoints().size()-1) && (count < 5))
                                    for(int lkj = count; lkj <5; lkj ++)
                                         fos.writeChars(",");
                                         fos.writeChars("" + (int)X);
                                         fos.writeChars(",");
                                         fos.writeChars("" + (int)Y);
                                         fos.writeChars(",");
                                         fos.writeChars("" + (int)Z);
                          fos.writeChars("}");
                     fos.writeChars("}");
          fos.close();
          xos.close();
     } i happen to know for a fact that there are no faces with more than 6 points, so i used this line:if((count == ((Face)(faces.get(shape))).getPoints().size()-1) && (count < 5))and everything that follows to write ditto information(the last point) over and over again to fill up the array(i could even write a null value here if i wanted)
the problem im having is i seem to be missing two right brackets("}") and with all the information thats going through these loops its impossible to trace where and what is going wrong. can anyone point out any possible flaws to help me figure out what im doing wrong??

also, though its not important, when i do:fos.writeChars("...")//(i used writeChars(); to save myself the hassle of typeing writeChar((int)'char').)it writes a blankspace(spacebar) between each string i write, how can i prevent this from happening?

nvm i just realized what i was doing wrong... fixed the error, but a reply on the spaces between writes would be nice

You asked this same question a couple of months ago: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Reading-Data-From-text-File/m-p/1756390#M612805
Well, you can use the Read Text file to read the file, and then just extract the lines... Ben64 showed you a method to use regular expressions. That's one way.
For Excel you can use the Report Generation Toolkit, or you can code it yourself using ActiveX. There's an example that ships with LabVIEW on writing a table to Excel.
For database operations you can use the Database Toolkit, or you can try to use LabSQL.
