Array Index out of bounds
<p>This is what I'm trying to do: I'm reading a file in from the command line.
The file contains a list of data,below this paragraph is what it looks like.
The problem I'm having is with the if statements.</p>

<pre><code>import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class VehicleTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
        String vehicle = "vehicle";
        String car = "car";
        String americanCar = "american car";
        String foreignCar = "foreign car";
        String truck = "truck";
        String bicycle = "bicycle";

        File file = new File(args[0]);
        Scanner input = new Scanner(file);

        String[] autos = new String[100];
        ArrayList allVehicles = new ArrayList();


        for (int i = 0; i &lt; autos.length; i++) {
            autos[i] = input.nextLine();
        }

        int j = 0;
        int i = 0;

        while (i++ &lt; autos.length) {
            if (vehicle.equalsIgnoreCase(autos[j++])) {
                Vehicle v = new Vehicle();
                v.setOwnerName(autos[j]);
                allVehicles.add(v);
            }else if(car.equalsIgnoreCase(autos[j++])){
                Car c = new Car();
                c.setOwnerName(autos[j]);
                allVehicles.add(c);
            }
        }

        for(Object a: allVehicles){
            System.out.println(a);
        }
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>In pseudo code this would be:</p>

<pre><code>while i is less than the length of the string  array  
 if you see the word vehicle create a new vehicle object and add it to the arrayList.  
 if you see the word car create a new car object and add it to the arrayList.  
.....
</code></pre>

<p>The problems is that I get an arrayOutOfBounds exception with the code I'm using.</p>

<p>I understand that j++ is what is wrong, but how else am I supposed to iterate through the string array so that I can read each line and create the appropriate objects? I'm at a loss as to what to do. I need some help.</p>
