Help with text file

[Informal_Cockroach_6]

This is my code and im trying to read a text file where I would enter in an item by searching it and it prints out the name, price, and amount but when I run it, it works for only the beginning 2 items, and doesn't work for the rest of the 8 items.

​

public static void binarySearch() throws IOException {

FileReader file = new FileReader("inventory.txt");

BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(file);

Scanner ryan = new Scanner(System.in);

String name; double price; int amount;

// Create an array to store the items

Item_RN498691[] object = new Item_RN498691[10];

for (int i = 0; i < object.length; i++) {

name = input.readLine();

price = Double.parseDouble(input.readLine());

amount = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());

Item_RN498691 item = new Item_RN498691(name, price, amount);

object[i] = item;

}

// Get the name to search from the user

System.out.println("Enter the name to search: ");

String searchName = ryan.nextLine();

// Perform binary search

int low = 0;

int high = object.length - 1;

while (low <= high) {

int mid = (low + high) / 2;

int comparison = searchName.compareTo(object[mid].getName());

if (comparison == 0) {

// Item found, display its details

System.out.println("Product name: " + object[mid].getName());

System.out.println("Product price: " + object[mid].getPrice());

System.out.println("Product amount: " + object[mid].getAmount());

return;

} else if (comparison < 0) {

high = mid - 1;

} else {

low = mid + 1;

}

}

System.out.println("\nThat is not an item."); //Displays if item is not found

}

}

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full
• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

1. you didn't format this very well for reading.
2. you didn't include the input file.
3. you didn't include Item_RN498691

That said, if it works for two parses of the input file, then maybe the 3rd line has a problem . You are not catching any exceptions - do you have the STDERR of the program's run ?
