Newb Question: passing objects in java?
- by Adam Outler
Hello, I am new at java. I am doing the following:
Read from file, then put data into a variable.
            checkToken = lineToken.nextToken();
               processlinetoken()
   }
But then when I try to process it...
    public static void readFile(String fromFile) throws IOException {
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fromFile));
          String line = null;
          while ((line=reader.readLine()) != null )  {
          if (line.length() >= 2) { 
               StringTokenizer lineToken = new StringTokenizer (line);
               checkToken = lineToken.nextToken();
               processlinetoken()
               ......
But here's where I come into a problem.
     public static void processlinetoken()
          checkToken=lineToken.nextToken();
     }
it fails out.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 
 The method nextToken() is undefined for the type String
at testread.getEngineLoad(testread.java:243)
 at testread.readFile(testread.java:149)
 at testread.main(testread.java:119)
so how do I get this to work?  It seems to pass the variable, but nothing after the . works.
