java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException mistake

I am trying to search through a file to print out scores. Here is what I have:

 while (input.hasNextLine()) {
        String record = input.nextLine();
        String[] field = record.split(" ");
        if(field[1].equals(targetState)) { 
            System.out.print(field[0] + ": ");
            System.out.println(field[2]);
        }
    }

And the data in file looks like this: 

2007,Alabama,252

When I ran this code, I get that java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException error. I just wonder what is wrong with the code

Thanks

You need to split using comma and not space. Change this

    String[] field = record.split(" ");

to

   String[] field = record.split(",");

As you don’t have the spaces in your input string, so it is not getting split and hence the output array does not have multiple items, leading to ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException
