I think the answer is in the Integer class. Here is the java documentation for Integer http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Integer.html
Look at: public static int parseInt(String s) and public static Integer valueOf(String s)The first will give you an int, the primitive type where as the second gives you an Integer object, you may want to look into the differences and how Java handles them including its autoboxing. This is one thing Scala gets away from, they believe the use of primitives is incorrect for a true OO language.
Also there are variations of these methods where you can give a radix, however for decimal integers the ones I gave are fine as they use a radix of 10.
You probably will need to manually loop through the array of strings though, I don't think there is a standard Java method for converting an array of String into an array of ints.

It contains a list of positions expressed as decimal numbers separated by spaces. The split method of the String class converts this into an array of String objects, each containing one of these numbers. The next step is to convert this array into an array of int. However, I can't find a method that takes a String and returns the integer that it contains either in the String or Integer classes. Where might it be? Thanks, John -- John J.
