Getting data from file to array

Question

try
    System.out.println("Enter file name: ");
    fileName = Object.nextLine();
    BufferedReader inputStream =
            new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
    String employee = null;
    employee = inputStream.readLine();
    System.out.println("The first employee in " + fileName + " is");
    System.out.println(employee);
    inputStream.close();
catch(FileNotFoundException e)
    System.out.println("File " + fileName + " not found ");
catch(IOException e)
    System.out.println("Error reading from file " + fileName);
}This is just a little example I made. You can look at my other thread to see the other code. I need to put the data in a file into the array. Does it need to be casted somehow?

Answer 1

public void getData()
       try {
   System.out.println("Enter file name to read: ");
   File = Object.nextLine();
   BufferedReader Object =
            new BufferedReader(new FileReader(File));
    for(int i = 0; i < people.length && people[i] != null; i++)
String temp = Object.readLine();
people.setLastname(temp);
temp = Object.readLine();
people[i].setFirstname(temp);
temp = Object.readLine();
people[i].setID(temp);
temp = Object.readLine();
people[i].setPhone(temp);
temp = Object.readLine();
people[i].setYearlySalary(Double.parseDouble(temp));
temp = Object.readLine();
people[i].calcBonus(Double.parseDouble(temp));
temp = Object.readLine();
people[i].getMonthlyPay(temp));
} Object.close(); }I know, I got careless with the naming. I'm trying a different route now. I think I can just do it in reverse. lol How would I get the method getMonthlyPay to have no errors. It's a public void() method with monthlyPay = (yearlySalary + bonus) / 12; in its definition.
anyone?
