Read .txt file into 2D Array

Question

There are a few of these topics out there, but this problem has a slight twist that makes it different.

I\'m focused on only half of a larger problem. I\'m sure man

Answer 1

With Java 8 and it's Streams:

  static public int[][] create2DIntMatrixFromFile(Path path) throws IOException {
    return Files.lines(path)
      .map((l)->l.trim().split("\\s+"))
      .map((sa)->Stream.of(sa).mapToInt(Integer::parseInt).toArray())
      .toArray(int[][]::new);
  }

This is just for the 'reading' part of the question.
