Calling method from different class (different than other questions)

So I'm relatively new to java and I'm trying to use a method from a different class inside my main.
The method I'm using to pull doesn't contain any data initially but pulls the data from a text doc.
I've included the code that calls the other class method that loads the data from the file. It sill doesn`t work, so where is my mistake?
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class FinalRobert {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//output of animalList class here
}
Here is the class I'm trying to pull from:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
public class animalList {
public void animalDetails () {
int i = 0;
String animalInfo = "C:/Users/Robert/Documents/animals.txt";
String animalHabitat = "‪C:/Users/Robert/Documents/habitats.txt";
try {
File animalFile = new File(animalInfo);
FileReader animalReader = new FileReader(animalFile);
BufferedReader animalList = new BufferedReader (animalReader);
StringBuilder animalDetailList = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = animalList.readLine()) != null) {
for (i = 0; i <4 ; i++) {
System.out.println(line);
animalList.readLine();
}
}
animalReader.close();
System.out.println(animalDetailList.toString());
}
catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
So I want to have the output of the animalList class in my main, but I don't know how to bring it over because I'm not necessarily bring over variable, but a process. The full thing should bring the first line and four past it (so a total of the first five lines in the doc). Hopefully that makes things easier to see my problem.

This is a mcve of AnimalList :
public class AnimalList {//use java naming convention
public void animalDetails () {
//mcve should be runnable. The problem you ask help with is not
//reading from file, so remove file reading functionality to make it mcve
StringBuilder animalDetailList = new StringBuilder();
animalDetailList.append("Family: Cats").append("\n")
.append("Type : Panther").append("\n")
.append("Weight: 250kg").append("\n")
.append("Color : Pink");
System.out.println(animalDetailList.toString());
}
}
Invoke its method from another class:
public class FinalRobert {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//to invoke animalDetails() method use
AnimalList aList = new AnimalList();
aList.animalDetails();
//if you do not need the aList refrence you could use
//new AnimalList().animalDetails();
}
}
Output
Family: Cats Type : Panther Weight: 250kg Color :
Pink

I hope this might help you.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class FinalRobert {
public static void main(String[] args) {
animalList list = new animalList();
list.animalDetails();
}
}
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
public class animalList {
public String animalDetails () {
int i = 0;
String output="";
String animalInfo = "C:/Users/Robert/Documents/animals.txt";
String animalHabitat = "‪C:/Users/Robert/Documents/habitats.txt";
try {
File animalFile = new File(animalInfo);
FileReader animalReader = new FileReader(animalFile);
BufferedReader animalList = new BufferedReader (animalReader);
String line;
while ((line = animalList.readLine()) != null & i<4) {
System.out.println(line);
output = output + "\n"+ line;
i++;
}
animalReader.close();
System.out.println(output);
}
catch (IOException e) {
}
return output;
}
}

Using Arraylist in different classes

So the code below finds words in a document as specific by the word input. Counts the number of times the words occurs in each sentence then stores that count in the arraylists at the bottom label a for cone and b for ctwo.
I want to use the arraylists in another class but can't seem to find a way to do it.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class exc {
public exc() {
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
cone aa = new cone();
ctwo bb = new ctwo();
// after this I'm stuck
}
}
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class cone {
public void cone() throws Exception {
BufferedReader e = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("words to be read.txt"));
String o;
while((o = e.readLine()) != null){
String[] sentences = o.split("\\b[.!?]\\s+");
//System.out.println(o);
String [] h = sentences;
{
BufferedReader t = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("Text to be scan.txt"));
String g;
while((g = t.readLine()) != null){
String[] set=g.split(" ");
List<String> list = Arrays.asList(set);
// System.out.println(Arrays.toString(set));
//System.out.println(o);
int sentenceNumb=1;
for (String sentence: h) {
int counter=0;
String[] words = sentence.replace(".", "").split(" ");
for(String word: words) {
if (list.contains(word)) {
counter++;
}
}
List<Integer> A = Arrays.asList(counter++);
}
}
}
}
}
}
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class ctwo {
public void ctwo() throws Exception {
BufferedReader e = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("words to be read.txt"));
String o;
while((o = e.readLine()) != null){
String[] sentences = o.split("\\b[.!?]\\s+");
//System.out.println(o);
String [] h = sentences;
{
BufferedReader t = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("Text to be scan.txt"));
String g;
while((g = t.readLine()) != null){
String[] set=g.split(" ");
List<String> list = Arrays.asList(set);
// System.out.println(Arrays.toString(set));
//System.out.println(o);
int sentenceNumb=1;
for (String sentence: h) {
int counter=0;
String[] words = sentence.replace(".", "").split(" ");
for(String word: words) {
if (list.contains(word)) {
counter++;
}
}
List<Integer> B= Arrays.asList(counter++);
}
}
}
}
}
}

Best approach: You have both the ArrayLists in main(), pass them as function parameters to functions(from any class) that need them.
Not so good approach: Store the ArrayLists as package protected static class variables in the cone and ctwo classes. You can access them as cone.A and ctwo.B.

Pass the same array list in the constructor of both the classes.

your program seems weird.
I would suggest reading words and adding distinct words to hashmap with key as word and value as it's count.

Reading numbers from a file and creating an array (java)

I cannot figure out how to make this txt file with numbers into an array, I am able to get it to read and print the screen but I need to be able to organize the numbers and delete the duplicates. This is what my code looks like so far
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
public class File {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String filename = "C:/input.txt";
File rfe = new File();
rfe.readFile(filename);
}
private void readFile(String name) {
String input;
try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(name))) {
while((input = reader.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.format(input); // Display the line on the monitor
}
}
catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
}
catch(IOException ioe) {
}
catch(Exception ex) { // Not required, but a good practice
}
}
}

I would recommend using an ArrayList rather than an Array.
With an array you would have to parse through the list and calculate the line count before you could even initialize it. An ArrayList is much more flexible as you don't have to declare how many values will be added to it.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class File {
private List<Integer> data = new ArrayList<Integer>(); //Create ArrayList
public static void main(String[] args) {
String filename = "C:/input.txt";
File rfe = new File();
rfe.readFile(filename);
}
private void readFile(String name) {
String input;
try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(name))) {
while((input = reader.readLine()) != null) {
data.add(Integer.parseInt(input));//Add each parsed number to the arraylist
System.out.println(input); // Display the line on the monitor
}
}
catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
}
catch(IOException ioe) {
}
catch(Exception ex) { // Not required, but a good practice
ex.printstacktrace(); //Usually good for general handling
}
}
}

what's the difference between two codes

I'm trying to submit the second code on spoj but it gives wrong answer but the first one is accepted although i think that the logic of the two codes are the same.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception {
java.io.BufferedReader r = new java.io.BufferedReader(
new java.io.InputStreamReader(System.in));
String s;
while (!(s = r.readLine()).startsWith("42"))
System.out.println(s);
}
}
and
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
int n = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
if (n != 42) {
System.out.println(n);
}
}
}

There is no loop in your second code. Try your code using the following input data:
1
2
88
42
99
Your second code is going to process only first line on the input (i.e. 1). Here is the working example of your code: http://ideone.com/Qr1q3N
You can, for example, introduce a loop in the following way:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
int n;
while ((n = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine())) != 42) {
System.out.println(n);
}
}
}
Here you can see this code in action: http://ideone.com/z8H4fP

How to create a regex who verify the existence of a number into an array in java

i want to verify if a number for example 701234567 is an element of my array in java. For this, my code search if my number who is begening with 7 and have 9 digits is a element of my array "numbercall.txt" who have 5 elements. This is my text file:
numbercall.txt [ 702345678, 714326578, 701234567, 791234567,751234567]
This is my code:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class TestNumberLt {
static String[] arr= null;
String filename = "fichiers/numbercall.txt";
static String a = null ;
static List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException{
FileInputStream fstream_school = new FileInputStream(filename);
DataInputStream data_input = new DataInputStream(fstream_school);
BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(data_input));
String str_line;
while ((str_line = buffer.readLine()) != null)
{
str_line = str_line.trim();
if ((str_line.length()!=0))
{
list.add(str_line);
}
}
int b = 773214576;
//convert the arraylist to a array
arr = (String[])list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^7[0|6|7][0-9]{7}$");
Matcher m ;
//a loop for verify if a number exist in this array
for (int j = 0; j < list.size();)
{
System.out.print(" "+list.get(j)+ " ");
m = p.matcher(list.get(j));
/*while(m.find())
System.out.println(m.group());*/
if(list.get(j).equals(b))
{
System.out.println("Trouvé "+list.get(j));
break;
}
else
{
System.out.println("ce numéro ("+b+") n'existe pas!");
}
break;
}
}
}

Do it simply like this
String str_line= "702345678,714326578,701234567,791234567,751234567";
String[] strArray = str_line.split(",");
String key = "702345678";
for(String v:strArray) {
if(v.equals(key)) {
System.out.println("found");
}
}

I'm not realy sure of what you want, but if you just need the index of b in your array just do this:
public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException{
...
int b = 773214576;
int tmp = list.indexOf(b+"");
if(tmp!=-1) {
System.out.println("Trouvé "+ b + " à l'index " + tmp);
} else {
System.out.println("Ce numéro ("+b+") n'existe pas!");
}
...
}

Another answer, using Guava :
(in this case, there really is no need, you could simply use split() method from String object, but like Guava readibility and returns)
package stackoverflow;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import com.google.common.base.Splitter;
public class RegexExample {
String filename = "numbercall.txt";
public boolean isInList(String numberToCheck) throws IOException {
BufferedReader file = loadFile();
for (String number : extractNumberListFrom(file)) {
if (number.trim().equals(numberToCheck)) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
private Iterable<String> extractNumberListFrom(BufferedReader buffer) throws IOException {
StringBuilder numberList = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = buffer.readLine()) != null) {
numberList.append(line);
}
return Splitter.on(",").split(numberList.toString());
}
private BufferedReader loadFile() {
InputStream fstream_school = RegexExample.class.getResourceAsStream(filename);
BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream_school));
return buffer;
}
}
