I'm am working on converting a String "596" (I'm reading it from a txt

NumberFormatException for the input string : "596". I tried to use
trim() method before using parseInt on the String but still doens't
work.
Also, I tried to get the length of the input string "596" which I read
from the file and the length comes out to be 7. How did that happen? I
thought the length should be 3.
Please advise.
If you have an IDE, start your application within the debugger of the
IDE. Set a breakpoint before the line where you parse the string, and
look inside your String.
If you don't have an IDE, dump out the String before you parse it:
String s = ...; // your string
for (int = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
char c = s.charAt(i);
System.out.println("s[" + i + "] = " + (int)c + " = " + c);
}
See what output you get.
I used the above code segment and realized that before every integer
there was a null char
so the output being:
s[0] = 0 =
s[1] = 53 = 5
s[2] = 0 =
s[3] = 54 = 6
s[4] = 0 =
s[5] = 57 = 9
s[6] = 0 =
So i just created a new string using the chars I extracted from the
above code.
Thanks for your help.
