I keep getting this error index out of bounds

I was wondering if someone could help me figure out why my code keeps getting this index out of bounds exception. I will post the code and the text file. I just can't figure it out I've tried so many different things to get it to work

Code:

here's the txt file

1 40.00 6.00
2 35.00 7.00
3 24.00 9.50
5 44.00 11.00
6 55.00 9.00
7 70.00 22.00

I will tell you I was getting a Input string not in correct format exception first
number[i] = int.Parse(words[0]);
but I changed it to a string number[i] = words[0];
To fix the error, then it gave me the index out of bounds exception.
if that helps any to tell you guys that

how about you add debug print of word.size() before using word array?

Sorry I haven't replied sooner I been trying to research a little on your Idea but I guess I just don't understand how to do what your talking about

What is words length after line 88? Did you try to run your code in debugger?
BTW new on line 83 has no meaning - you will immediately overwrite the allocated variable with result returned by Split

Yeah I'm doing Problems out of a book I have but most of the code was written by our teacher when I was in college I never really understood ParseLinein() that well but I will bring it up to the teacher I have another program I will post that is similar but it works thats why I don't understand why it doesn't but the other code will compile and I"m very new to the debugger

Here's code from my other program that works


here's the text

1 Smith 7.50 38.41 0
2 Scoggins 11.00 40.00 5.33
3 Gray 5.00 33.87 0
4 Ensor 9.50 40.00 22.3
5 Pinet 22.00 38.58 0
6 Jones 4.55 28.00 0
7 Chance 15.33 40.00 4.44



here's the output

Attachment 14225

I guess the true error I been getting is Input string was not in correct format I'll post my code exactly the way I had it so this is a little different

Chapter 5 Problem 8 will compile yet I get an error INPUT STRING WAS NOT IN CORRECT FORMAT error with Chapter 5 Problem 9 They seem to be exactly the same almost so I don't know

Well I figured out the error myself it was simply my text file was corrupt go figure I guess you have to be real careful when making text files because they can mess up

Or you write a code in such a way that if the corrupted line is encountered - you just skip it and continue reading file
