in.close();
}
catch(IOException e){
System.out.println("Error reading " + fileName);
}
}
i need to load the information into the array
What do you mean doesn't work...how is your file formatted?
This is not going to work at all, but to tell you what you need to do you need to give us all relavant info.
communityName = in.readLine();
while(in.ready()){
addAlien(creature);
}
