First line of file

[Angus Ferguson]

Hi,

I am reading form a .data file but it only seems to be reading the first line of the code when I in more than the next code in the loop

try {
            fis = new FileInputStream(fileName);
            bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
            dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
    
            while (dis.available() != 0)
            {
               System.out.println(dis.readLine());

             
               
            }

It works well in the example but if I in in the loop something like

while (dis.available() != 0)
            {
               System.out.println(dis.readLine());
              cad[i]=dis.readLine();
             i=i+1;

it only reads the first line
Any idea?

Thanks

I suggest you read the AvailableDoesntDoWhatYouThinkItDoes FAQ

Also, you can't call dis.readLine() twice while still expecting the same line to be returned. Any method that reads part of a file (or InputStream or Reader) moves forward in the file (or InputStream or Reader). Anything that was just read won't be re-read again unless you use the mark / reset method pair.
