Getting exception errors. can't find why

Question

first bit of code im getting an arrayindexoutofbounds exception, i've checked it over and over and the arrays and counters don't go out of bounds... run it by you guys maybe might catch something i missed:
int passNumber = 1;
                    while (passNumber < numRecordsResult)
                         int a = 0;
                         while (a < numRecordsResult)
                              if (bestLift[a] < bestLift[a + 1])
                                   int temp = bestLift[a];
                                   bestLift[a] = bestLift[a + 1];
                                   bestLift[a + 1] = temp;
                                   String nameTemp = name[a];
                                   name[a] = name[a + 1];
                                   name[a + 1] = nameTemp;
                              a++;
                         passNumber++;
                    }if that looks good, the arrays are created in this bit of code which is alse getting a numberformatexception, i think it's trying to parse a white space into an integer but i've checked over and over and looks good, run that by too to see if you can catch somethin.
int numRecordsResult = (int)(raf.length() / RECORD_SIZE);
                    String name[] = new String[numRecordsResult];
                    int bestLift[] = new int[numRecordsResult];
                    int arraySorted[] = new int[numRecordsResult];
                    int madeOneRank = 0;
                    int madeTwoRank = 0;
                    int madeThreeRank = 0;
                    String madeOneReader = " ";
                    String madeTwoReader = " ";
                    String madeThreeReader = " ";
                    int indexer = 0;
                    int x = 1;
                    while (x < numRecordsResult)
                         raf.seek((x - 1) * RECORD_SIZE);
                         name[x] = Utils.readString(raf, NAME_SIZE);
                         // arrayalize if time permits
                         raf.seek((RECORD_SIZE * (x-1)) + ((NAME_SIZE + WEIGHT_ONE) * 2));
                         madeOneReader = Utils.readString(raf, MADE_ONE);
                         indexer = madeOneReader.indexOf(" ") - 1;
                         madeOneRank = Integer.parseInt(madeOneReader.substring(0, indexer));
                         raf.seek((RECORD_SIZE * (x-1)) + ((NAME_SIZE + WEIGHT_ONE + MADE_ONE +
                              WEIGHT_TWO) * 2));
                         madeTwoReader = Utils.readString(raf, MADE_TWO);
                         indexer = madeOneReader.indexOf(" ");
                         madeTwoRank = Integer.parseInt(madeTwoReader.substring(0, indexer));
                         raf.seek((RECORD_SIZE * (x-1)) + ((NAME_SIZE + WEIGHT_ONE + MADE_ONE +
                              WEIGHT_TWO + MADE_TWO + WEIGHT_THREE) * 2));
                         madeThreeReader = Utils.readString(raf, MADE_THREE);
                         indexer = madeThreeReader.indexOf(" ");
                         madeThreeRank = Integer.parseInt(madeThreeReader.substring(0, indexer));
                         if (madeOneRank > (madeTwoRank & madeThreeRank))
                              bestLift[x] = madeOneRank;
                         else if (madeTwoRank > madeThreeRank)
                              bestLift[x] = madeTwoRank;
                         else
                              bestLift[x] = madeThreeRank;
                         x++;
                         //numRecordsResult--;
                    }

run by = read thru
see if you can see where my logic is failing...If you get NumberFormatExceptions then one or more of your Integer.parseInt statements are failing. The stacktrace of the exception will tell you which statement failed (it wil give the line where the exception was thrown), and I even think it will tell you what the string was you tried to parse into an int.
You can also add a couple of System.out.println to write the values of the strings you are using to the console. That will help you debug the problem.
