Why is this String.Split() giving a object reference not set error?

Questions & Answers

this is giving a Null reference exception: object reference not set to an instance of an object but i cant figure out why, the error is near the end where it declares variable line2 as an array of line.split

#pragma strict
import System.IO;
var names = new Array ();
var platforms = new Array ();
var genres = new Array ();
var styles = new Array ();
var clients = new Array ();
var gamePanel : GameObject;
var gamePane : GameObject;
var test : boolean;
var line = "";

function loadGameList ()
{
	var sr : StreamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(Application.dataPath + "/" + "games.list");
	var found = false;
	for(var i = 0; i < 15 || found == false; i++)
	{
		line = sr.ReadLine();
		if(line == "#")
		{
			found = true;
		}
		else
		{
			var line2 = line.Split(","[0]);  //this line is giving the error <----------
			addNewGame(line2[0],parseInt(line2[1]),parseInt(line2[2]),parseInt(line2[3]),parseInt(line2[4]));
		}
	}
	addGameList();
	sr.Close();
}

i dont see anything wrong about
var line2 = line.Split(“,”[0]);

so i really dont understand why its giving a null reference error

The only reason it would, would be if line is null. Try putting a Debug.Log in there to log line, and you’ll know for sure.
