  • Problem using multiple delimiters in Java?

    I am trying to read the contents of a file to an array but after the first line is read in, a but get a "NoSuchElementException" gets thrown.

    The file reads:

    195,Sales,319

    115,Marketing,405

    182,Research,424

    (There are no blank spaces after each line)

    The loop I am using is:

    inDept.useDelimiter("[,\\n]");

    while( inDept.hasNext() )

    {

    deptCode = inDept.nextInt();

    deptName = inDept.next();

    managerID = inDept.nextInt();

    dept[numDept] = new Department( deptCode, deptName, managerID );

    numDept++;

    }

  • How to settle digestive system from life style change?

    I started going to college full time and am living on campus. I eat 3 meals a day and they vary daily. After about a week of being here however, I started having problems with my digestive system.

    Started out with gas that lead to pressure in my chest. Now every other day, I get bubbly stomach, gas and I have frequent bowel movement. I have been drinking plenty of water (at least 2 bottles a day, along with Iced tea at meals and fruit juice at breakfast. My dairy consumption is low ( the most I eat may be some cheese toppings or such).

    I have tried taking pepto but that only give temporary relief. Should I be eating more yogurt or something? Like I said my diet is very diverse as I usually go for main line food every day. Any tips are appreciated. Please help.

  • How to carry a skateboard on my backpack?

    So I bought this new laptop backpack for school so that I could, well obviously, carry my laptop. Problem is that as of late I started skating and will probably skate around campus this semester.

    I know that there are backpacks made for carrying a skateboard but mine isn't. My question is are there any straps I can buy or a MacGyver method of affixing my skateboard to my backpack?

  • What's your favorite baking recipe?

    I want to bake something for my friend who just had a baby, she'll be coming home tomorrow.

    I was thinking something along the lines of a cake or muffins as opposed to cookies (but if you have a phenomenal cookie recipe, I'll take it).

    Which ever recipe I choose to bake will be best answer.

  • Twitch/tweak in arms and wrist during push ups?

    I started P90X 3 weeks ago and as of late I have been experiencing this odd feeling in my arms while doing push ups.

    I will be alright with one or two push ups but then after that, they start to feel weird.

    The feeling starts by the elbow and is like a numbing feeling. I can best describe it as a nerve moving (perhaps around a muscle). After a few more the feeling is going from my wrist to my shoulders.

    So... What is this and how can I make it stop? I have a Fitness test this weekend and I need to perform well on my push ups so any help is very appreciated.

  • Batch video Converter and Re-sizer?

    I need to convert a bunch of videos all to WMV and would prefer not to do them one at a time. I also need to re-size them to 320x240 (or smaller to keep ratio) for my mp3 player.

    Have any software in mind? Price doesn't really matter.

  • Need help finding a certain rock song?

    I heard this rock song on the radio the other day. It was a guy singing about his wife/girl friend and basically how he is a swinger when he is gone. He says something along the lines of 'My heart is yours but my lips/tongue are for everyone' and also 'you're the only woman I want to be with when I'm not on the road'.... It was a really odd song and I really can't remember much more besides that.

  • Is this cat I found stray?

    It was a rainy last night and I was sitting in my car with the door open, I hear a meow then 3 seconds later this kitten (about 3 months maybe) jumps on my lap. I brought her inside and she was very curious but not scared of people. We put her in the bathroom with a litter box and some kitten food and water but it got lonely so I had to bring it to my room.

    It seems house broken already as it used the litter box, it is also very friendly and playful towards humans and not food aggressive. So my question is, do you think it is stray, abandoned, lost or just needed a place to stay dry.

  • What is this process called in math?

    So last session of class (College Algebra), my instructor was teaching us this "thing" (for lack of better words). The point of it was to find the positives, the negatives and the unreals of a polynomial.

    The first step was to count the sign changes and that's how many positives. Then you replace x with -x and count the sign changes again. Then you add the the amount of positives and negatives together and subtract that from the amount of terms you have. That would be your unreals.

    What is this process called?

  • Should you buy a new spare tire/doughnut after one use?

    I always understood that they aren't to be driven on for more than 50 miles. Does this mean that you need a new one after one use, or that you should not drive more than 50 miles at a time on one?
