BufferedReader.readLine() method.

[Gemini Moses]

I need to read a file line by line and put it in different variables depending upon some condition.
I am using,
BufferedReader para;
while((line = para.readLine()) != null)
two of the lines in paragraph are
1. this is suresh's
2. key for the home.
wheen i read line 1 and print the line i see that
line = "this is suresh''s"
note that ' has been appended by one more '.
Why is that ?
If i dont want that to happen. what should i be doing?
thnaks.
Such case can happen only one in while in along paragraph.

Thanks!!

I�ve remade a similar example:

  
import java.io.*;
public class mc{
public static void main(String[] a) throws IOException{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("pr.txt"));
String c;
while ((c = br.readLine())!=null){
System.out.print(c);
}

}
}

having pr.txt:

  
suresh's

and the output:

  
suresh's

(it works ok for me..)

Thanks Sigfred!!
oops !! I did not mention that my para is defined this way.
BufferedReader para = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
Is there any way that without changing this i get the proper output?
Thanks!!

Building off this example, I compiled the following:

 
FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream( "test.txt" );
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
        String c;               
        while ((c = br.readLine())!=null)
        {          
            System.out.print(c);
        }
 

And again, the output comes out as "Saresh's", single quote. What is your variable stream representing?

[Sigfred Zamo]

Well, I tried this way:

  
import java.io.*;
public class mc{
public static void main(String[] a) throws IOException{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("pr.txt")));
String c;
while ((c = br.readLine())!=null){
System.out.print(c);
}
}
}

..and I got the same result..
try copypasting your code..

[Gemini Moses]

Oho...
I did not realise that Sigfred is suggesting that
your code should give result you want as is!!

Sorry guys I see that the get method from some one elses class which i am using here seem to be producing my problem (never trust blindly
Thanks for all your responses.....

[Gemini Moses]

Can someone point me to a method to replace
'' marks from a string with single '
e. g
suresh''s key is in the room near mahesh''s room.
should produce result,
suresh's key is in the room near mahesh's room.
