I am trying to remove the non-number characters from my string.
I have tried using the .replace()
method but this returns with the error:
The method replace(char, char) in the type String is not applicable for the arguments (String, String)
Code:
Properties p = new Properties();
File f = new File("coords.txt");
if (f.exists()) {
FileInputStream in;
try {
in = new FileInputStream(f);
p.load(in);
in.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Failed to load coordinates");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
Button.waitForAnyPress();
System.exit(0);
}
} else {
System.out.println("No coordinates found");
while (!Button.ESCAPE.isPressed()) {
Thread.yield();
}
System.exit(0);
}
When I print out the string gg
, initialized like:
String gg = p.toString();
I get the output: Object020f458
.
My computer highlights the error on the replace:
gg = gg.replace("{", "");
gg = gg.replace("=", "");
gg = gg.replace("}", "");
int commaLoc = gg.indexOf(",");
int x = Integer.parseInt(gg.substring(0,commaLoc));
int y = Integer.parseInt(gg.substring(commaLoc + 1));
Since the String I was using was actually using was a property I had to retrieve it like a property which will format it itself
int Count = Integer.parseInt(p.getProperty("Number_of_properties"));
for(int i = 1; i < Count; i++)
{
int x = Integer.parseInt(p.getProperty("x"+i));
int y = Integer.parseInt(p.getProperty("y"+i));
}
I also had to change my text file to match the property format:
Number_of_properties = 4
x1 = 150
y1 = 70
x2 = 55
y2 = 77
