Java array reading from a file

Say i have a file called "input.txt" that has a bunch of positive integers in it:

6

5

6

8

6

2

4

and so on....(one integer per line)

I want to read this file and make it into an array. The first integer (in this case 6) tells the number of indexes or elements in the array, so 6 spots. The other numbers fill in the array starting at 0. So at index 0, the number is 5, at index 1 the number is 6, and so on.

Can someone please show me how to read this file and make it into an array called A and return the integers in each index as n?

this is what i have so far:

import java.io.*;
public class inputFile {
    public static jobScheduleRecursive(int[] A, int i)
    {
        try
    {
        FileReader filereader = new FileReader("input.txt");
        BufferedReader bufferedreader = new BufferedReader(filereader);
        String line = bufferedreader.readLine();
        //While we have read in a valid line
        while (line != null) {
            //Try to parse integer from the String line
            try {
                System.out.println(Integer.parseInt(line));
            } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
                System.err.println("Failed to parse integer from line:" + line);
                System.err.println(nfe.getMessage());
                System.exit(1);
            }
   开发者_开发技巧         line = bufferedreader.readLine();
        }
    }
    catch(FileNotFoundException filenotfoundexception)
    {
        System.out.println("File not found.");
    }
    catch(IOException ioexception)
    {
        System.out.println("File input error occured!");
        ioexception.printStackTrace();
    }
    return A;
}

Step by step (I will let you fill in the actual code):

1. read the first integer (the java.util.Scanner can be used to read the next integer) into a variable (let's call it numberOfInts)
2. Create an array called A with numberOfInts elements
3. In a loop, counting from 0 to numberOfInts - 1 (using index variable i):
   • read the next integer from the file
   • set A[i] to be that integer you just read
