Problem reading numbers into an array cell (java)

[Muffin123]

So i would like to read a number that looks like (22) into an array cell. The problem i have is that the number is not actually 22 but its supposed to be 2_2, the _ being a space, i can do that with say sc.nextLine() if im not mistaken but i would like to be able to acess the indiviual numbers later on, as i have to have acess to them as variable a and variable d (TL;DR version: so number format is a_d, how would i read that into 1 array cell to then use later, or how would i input that into a 2d array seeing as the numbers are attached together (like ad) in the file it has to read)

What language?
As for bash That is easily done: Pipe the 22 trough

     sed 's/\(.\)/\1 /g'

and you'll get 2_2_ (with _ as a space)

If you need underscores 

     sed 's/\(.\)/\1_/g'

Can you just split the string on the underscore when you read it in? Then you can handle each part however you want.

There should be an easier solution to this (its a low level java class they wouldnt bother us with this much effort just reading the data), the problem i have is ill need a switch statement for the first digit and then ill need a switch for the second digit, i have no idea how to get that out of this

This isn't easy enough?

String input = "2_5";String[] number = input.split("_");// number[0] contains "2"// number[1] contains "5"

It looked super complitcated put like that in the link, the problem still is my input is 22, so do i just put input.split('' '') ?

The split function can do some pretty complicated stuff. But on a basic level, that's all you need.

 

And I see, the underscore is a space (I missed that in your question). Yes, you can use split like that with the space character.
