[RESOLVED] importing multiple image files

Rather than using 52 swith statements, is it possible to use a loop that can import images?

Atm my code is something like:

Code:

---

//by K0502201
public void getImg(int counter)
    {
        //inFile = new File(counter + ".bmp")
        inFile = new File("img_" + counter + ".bmp");
       
        try { img = ImageIO.read(inFile); }
       
        catch (IOException e)
        { System.out.println("Image error: " + e); }
    }

---

that class is called inside a for loop. However, i dnt think im doing this statement correctly as i get a null pointer exception

Any help is greatly aprreciated

finally found the cause why it isnt working. The code was right, it was just pointing to an empty file :blush:

So all i had to do was change the code to ("img_" + (counter+1) + ".bmp")

:blush:
