Reading values from txt file

Question

Hi,
I was hoping someone could help me. I am trying to read these values
3.182, 0.02734, 1126.0, 4.998E-4, 0.01581, 11.0, -150.3, 10.46, 3.735, 0.8474, -0.4854, 0.7866, 1.475, 0.9439, 0.769, 0.1846, 0.07678, -0.9491, -1.236, -0.9908, 0.5265, -0.27, 0.3569, -0.09167, 0.1295, -0.04507, 0.1029, -0.03005, 0.0, 0.03752, 0.001151, 0.2935, 74.84, 19080.0, 6.086, etcfrom a txt file. I have done some coding on it but dont seem to be getting the desired results. I want to take these values and put them in a 2D array.. but its not doing it. Can you see any mistakes i have done please ?
public double[][] readFile(){
          double[][] dArray = new double[164][37];
          int a  = 0;
        int b = 0; 
                try
                {  FileReader fin = new FileReader("myFile.txt");
                           BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(fin);
                             String line;
                             while((line = in.readLine()) != null){
                            String[] value = line.split(", ");
                            for (int x=0; x<value.length ; x++){
                                 System.out.println("a:  "+a+" || b: "+b);
                                     if (b == 37) {
                                            a = a++; 
                                        } else
                                            dArray[a] = Double.parseDouble(value[x]);
                         System.out.println("value: "+dArray[1][1]);
                         b++;

Answer 1

Yes thats because its part of larger code.. it is just a method within my code.
but your right about the catch but so yeah sorry i missed it when i copied pasted. I ve also added you a main method.
public double[][] readFile(){
          double[][] dArray = new double[164][37];
          int a  = 0;
        int b = 0; 
                try
                {  FileReader fin = new FileReader("myFile.txt");
                           BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(fin);
                             String line;
                             while((line = in.readLine()) != null){
                            String[] value = line.split(", ");
                            for (int x=0; x<value.length ; x++){
                                 System.out.println("a:  "+a+" || b: "+b);
                                     if (b == 37) {
                                            a = a++; 
                                        } else
                                            dArray[a] = Double.parseDouble(value[x]);
                         System.out.println("value: "+dArray[1][1]);
                         b++;
          catch (IOException e){}
          return dArray;     
public static void main(String[] args) {
          new Extract();
          }/code]
