#8493 — comma-separated floats

What is the easiest way to convert a bunch of comma-separated floats
into float[]?

String s =
"5.792327,13.093715,-1.47686,15.495049,12.842123,-2.455942,1.326654,12.842123,0.000000";

float[] f = ?

Easiest is to use String.split(","), and then Float.parseFloat() on each 
value in the array returned from String.split(), storing it into the 
array you created and stored variable in f.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

Perhaps something like

Scanner scanner = new Scanner( s );
scanner.useDelimeter( "," );
ArrayList<Float> floats = new ArrayList<Float>();

while( scanner.hasNext() ) {
   floats.add( scanner.nextFloat() );
}

All from memory, not syntax checked or tested.

Uh-uh.  'scanner.useDelimiter( "," );'

I followed the Link, but couldn't find anything "Uh-oh"-worthy.

Is the String-variant of it really that "Uh-oh"-ish?
Isn't scanner.useDelimiter( Pattern.compile(",") ) very likely
to be merely a case of pre-mature optimization to the cost of
making the code a bit more complicated? Especially as it isn't
even happening in the innermost loop...

Or did I miss something else?

Likely it was that I spelled "delimiter" incorrectly.

You can read a file like that or a StringInputStream) with CSV.  See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/csv.html

You can also use Pattern split then parseFloat.

Use ArrayConverter from the Apache commons-beanutils package:

import org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.ArrayConverter;
import org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.FloatConverter;

private void test() {
  String floatString = "1.0,3.14,2.7128";

  // The following two lines do all the work.
  ArrayConverter ac = new ArrayConverter(float[].class, new
FloatConverter());
  float[] floats = (float[]) ac.convert(float[].class, floatString);

  // Verify parsing
  for (float f : floats) {
     System.out.println(f);
  }
}

Will print out:
1.0
3.14
2.7128
