dResults2[3] is 4.000

I am tying to use to get 4 to use in a loop:

int x = Integer.parseInt(dResults2[3]);

What am I doing wrong?

The parseInt method takes a String argument. What is the type of dResults2[3]? If it's a primitive floating point (float or double), then just use an explicit cast (which will truncate)...

int x = (int)dResults2[3];

Having seen Marc Weber's post:
You mean

x = (int)Double.parseDouble(dResult2[3]);

presumably?

Is there any risk that Double.parseDouble("4.000") could return 3.99999999999999999? I which case you will get an out-by-one error when it casts to 3. Just as you don't use floating-point arithmetic for money, you don't want to use it in "for" loops.
