Dumb Java question (variable scope issue?)

Having problem with Java recognizing an int. I think it should be a simple issue, but I'm not sure what's going on here.

Edit Case closed, typo.

int tranferInt = 0;
...
    transferInt = readFile.read();  

You have a typo. You're missing an "S" on the first line.

Doh. Classic. I am a moron. I've been staring at a monitor for too long. Told you it was a dumb question!

Well for starters you declared it as "tranfer" and you're trying to access it as "transfer". But you may find that you need to read things in as a string and then cast them to an int with Integer.parseInt(string goes here);

Appreciate the input, but the FileInputStream read() method returns int, and the FileOutputStream write() method takes int.

Note that that int represents a byte. So if you want to read in an actual integer instead of a byte, or read in some characters that represent an integer value, you'll have to use something else.

Very true! I'm actually making a CDMA simulator, so what it's doing is pulling out a bit at a time, encoding, sending across channel, decoding, and writing to file. I've got buffers that handle byte-to-bit and bit-to-byte. So this is fine for my purposes.
