csv - Java-errors and inability to locate the answer -

i writing program needs read csv-file. , print out first word on each line ,plus first following number right after it. strangely enough ,my code can work on friends computer not own.

editing nomenclature methods , variabeles english (so easier guys read) has yielded more peculiar errors ,which netbeans cant me locate. short example of how should when works : binnenstad 17.460 bloemekenswijk 8.848 brugse poort - rooigem 17.652 ...

the main class code :

package autobezit;  import java.io.file; import java.io.filenotfoundexception; import java.util.scanner;  public class autobezit {      /**      * @param args command line arguments      * @throws java.io.filenotfoundexception      */     public static void main(string[] args) throws filenotfoundexception {         hood brugge = new hood("brugge", 50000);         system.out.println(brugge.getinfo());          autobezit situation = new autobezit();         situation.initialise();     }      public void initialise() throws filenotfoundexception {         scanner sc = new scanner(new file("gent_autobezit.csv"));         sc.usedelimiter(";");         (int i=0; i<3; i++){             sc.nextline();         }         while(sc.hasnext()){             string name= sc.next();             int number= sc.nextint();             hood hood = new hood(name,number);             sc.nextline();             system.out.print(hood.getinfo());         }             } } 

and 'hoodclass-code'

package autobezit;  public class hood {     private string name;     private int numberofinhabitants;      public hood(string name, int numberofinhabitants){         this.name=name;         this.numberofinhabitants=numberofinhabitants;     }      public string getinfo(){         return name+" "+numberofinhabitants;     } } 

the csv file needs read :

edit : adding importcommand:

import java.util.locale; 

// , sc.uselocale.... right after sc.usedelimiter

sc.uselocale(locale.german); 

has solved issues. biggest source of problems has been located :

while(sc.hasnext()) 

what symptoms on computer? looking @ code , following aspects seem surprising:

• you throw away first 3 lines (sc.nextline()) don't seem checking if file has 3 lines offer. , friends using same csv?
• the csv file contains bad input not accounting it.

i think number format issue , not because file contains floats perhaps because file contains european-formatted numbers (i.e. 17.460 17460) - reason works on friends' computers because using locale , number interpreted "17" instead of "17460".

here initialise function rewritten more robust , locale-specific:

public void initialise() throws filenotfoundexception, parseexception {   scanner sc = new scanner(new file("gent_autobezit.csv"));   sc.usedelimiter(";");   (int = 0; < 3; i++) {     sc.nextline();   }   while (sc.hasnext()) {     string name = sc.next();     name = name.trim();     if (name.length() == 0)       continue; // skip blank lines     string number = sc.next();     numberformat nf = numberformat.getnumberinstance(locale.germany);     nf.setparseintegeronly(true);     number frm = nf.parse(number);      hood hood = new hood(name, frm.intvalue());     sc.nextline();     system.out.print(hood.getinfo());   } }
