Help - get a value values from a text file.

1 New Member
Slowly going out of my mind trying to find out how to do this, as you may have guessed i am quite new to java.

i have a text file which contains a list of values, on each line there is a string value and a double seperated by a comma, these relate to a raw material and its price, the file has 100+ such lines.

what i need to do is to match the string value which my program spits out with a string value in the file and then use the double value on that line to set the material price in my program.

the values need to be in a text file as the material prices change quite often and i don't want to keep updating the program all the time.

sound simple, but i can't find any info in any of the books i have looked at or on the net, can anyone help before i go insane????

many thank

Andy

Haver a look at the Scanner class and pay special attention to the
useDelimeter(), next() and nextDouble() methods.

I have compiled some code, some written by me, some compiled from various sources online, and basically i've got a very simple flat file photo gallery. An upload form, to upload the photos and give them a caption, storing the caption and filename in a text file. It's a bit buggy when removing the photos and captions from the file, and also in displaying them on the delete page. you can see it in action at www.4am.com.au/gallery/upload.php...
