[RESOLVED] Read object from file?

[Nightwalker83]

Hi,

I think I need to use serializable in-order to read objects in this case "engine" from a file. Although, I don't have any idea how to read the onject. This is what I have done thus far:

public void readFromTextFile(BufferedReader fi) throws IOException {
        this.engine =Integer.parseInt(fi.readLine());
    }
 
    public void writeToTextFile(PrintWriter fo) throws IOException {
          fo.println(this.engine);
    }

I have been trying to follow this example but I'm unsure whether I need everything in the example?

Thanks,
