Java - converting String in array to double

Question

I'm stuck with this pretty silly thing;

I got a textfile like this;

Hello::140.0::Bye

I split it into a string array using;

LS = line.split("::");

Then I try to convert the array values containing the number to a double, like this;

Double number = Double.parseDouble(LS[1]);

But I get the following error message;

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1

Does anyone have any idea why this doesn't work?

Answer 1

I think it's a problem with reading the file. Did you try printing line and also the contents of LS after splitting?
