Vector Serialization

[moonbeast]

Hi,
I am trying to save values from a vector, and reload the values when the program restarts.

It can save the values to a file, but can't load the values. I have been picking my brain but can't figure it out.

Read/write the vector:

simpleSerializer S;
f = new File ("book.dat");
S = new simpleSerializer (f);
//S.readObjectFromFile();
//S.writeObjectToFile(data);


simpleSerializer

datastore data;
if ((theFile!=null) && theFile.exists())
{
try
{ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream( new FileInputStream(theFile));
data = (datastore) ois.readObject();
ois.close();}


Is there something simple i am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a program i could use to read the saved file to check if it is correct?
Thanks
Paul

What you typed there is really odd. In the future it would help to just print your code within code tags so we can see what you're talking about.

I can't understand exactly what you're trying to get at, but try reading the file into a String, casting/converting to your required format and then saving it into the Vector.

If that's not what you want then please reply stating more clearly what you need (along with code).

Thanks, hope that helps.
