//READ FILE W/STRING TOKENIZER & STORE VALUES IN VARIABLES
while ((sline = br.readLine()) !=null)
{
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(sline, ",");
intA = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
intB = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
TrArray[intTr] = new Tr(intA, intB, tnl);

ThreadArray[intTr] = new Thread(TrArray[intTr]);
ThreadArray[intTr].start();
}


I am reading a file from the command line which contains several lines. I won�t know how many lines. Each line contains 2 integers separated by a comma. (intA, intB). A Tr object is created (consisting of the 2 integers & tnl (which is a tunnel object) & assigned to an array as each line is read. Then each object needs to be assigned to a thread & started.

Error occurs on the: ThreadArray[intTr] = new Thread(TrArray[intTr]) line
Error received is:
Cannot resolve symbol constructor thread Train

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks�Alex

Does your Tr class implement Runnable? The Thread constructor you're using requires a Runnable object. Does Tr look something like the following?I don't know what you intend, but since you are not changing intTr in your loop, you'll be overwriting each Thread reference with the next one. The threads will still run, but you won't have references to them anymore (only the last one created).

On a side note, it's standard convention in Java to name all variables with initial lowercase letters (trArray and threadArray) so they can be distinguished from classes (Thread and Tr).
