Question

Hi,
Im reading in from a file and the file is as follows:
<EXAMPLE>
My name is DeeSheehan. Hello Everyone.
How are you today??
</Example>
I only want to read the lines after the <Example> line so i have the following piece of code:
while ((s = open.readLine()) != null)
if (s != "<EXAMPLE>")
s = open.readLine();
System.out.println(s);
else
System.out.println(s);
and it prints out:
My name is DeeSheehan. Hello Everyone.
</EXAMPLE>
so it skips the line "How are you today??"
Can anyone tell me please why is it doing this???

Answer 1

Maybe this comments will help:while ((s = open.readLine()) != null)  // read line #1
  if (s != "<EXAMPLE>")  // always true, use s.equals("<EXAMPLE>") instead
    s = open.readLine(); // read line #2, throwing away line #1
    System.out.println(s); // print line #2
  else
    System.out.println(s);
}So you effectively only print every second line.
