ok, thank you for the provided reading... so i have got it to work but
Also divide your code. You should have a method for writing and one for reading. In fact, every method should do one thing and one thing only.
i have a save method which writes my arrays to a file, i have an open method which opens the file, and then i have a read method which iterates through it and rewrites it to an array. What here is not divided like it should be?
im reading the oracle documentation i realized i needed to change the delimiter to find things other than white spaces. however i am again a little stuck. i mean i guess i could use this but it isn't exactly the same as my teacher suggests.
this is the code i used to set the delimiter, so if it reads the line, howzzarezzyouzz, it produces, how are you... i think the \\s* \\s* means something about white space... but even with no white space in my entered string it appears i need those im curious as to why.
So what does \\s* \\s* mean?
