Program not correctly reading from a text file

[Gulshan Singh]

The following code is part of my Flash card program where the user can have two text files, one called questions and the other called answers, and then the program will display the questions and the user can see if he can get the right answer.

  package flashcards;

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class FlashCards {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Random randGen = new Random();

        int error = 0;

        System.out.println("Enter input files. Text files only. Do not include file extension.\n");
        String file1 = "C:/Questions.txt";
        String file2 = "C:/Answers.txt";
        BufferedReader buffques = null;
        BufferedReader buffans = null;
        try {
            FileReader question = new FileReader(file1);
            FileReader answer = new FileReader(file2);
            buffques = new BufferedReader(question);
            buffans = new BufferedReader(answer);
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("\nFiles do not exist. Program can not continue.");
            //system("pause");
            //sys.exit()
        }

        String tempstr;
        ArrayList<String> qlines = new ArrayList<String>();
        ArrayList<String> alines = new ArrayList<String>();
        int count = 0;

        try {
            while((tempstr = buffques.readLine()) != null) {
                count++;
                qlines.add(buffques.readLine());
                alines.add(buffans.readLine());
            }
        }
        catch (IOException e) {

        }

        System.out.println(qlines);
        System.out.println(alines);  

This is just the loading of the cards, not the whole program. The problem is not every line in the text file is being loaded. Try it yourself using two text files with the same number of lines, and if the text file was something like,
word1
word2
word3
word4

The ArrayList qlines would be something like
word1
word2
word4

For each round in the loop, you are reading from the buffques twice - once in the while condition, and once in the qlines.add() line. Take the second one out and store tempstr into qlines.

            while((tempstr = buffques.readLine()) != null) {
                count++;
                qlines.add(tempstr);
                alines.add(buffans.readLine());
            }
