    Default FILE READER PROGRAM

    This is my program in which m reading from a filr with approx 40000 Strings in which m making a combination of all 40000 strings with other using a while loop but the loop is running only for first entry of the nested loop what is the problem with this code and can any body give me sugessions for such a huge loop??
    package combinator;
     
    import java.io.*;
     
    import Reader.HandsFileReader;
     
    public class FinalCombination{
     
    	HandsFileReader hfr=new HandsFileReader();
    	BufferedReader b,s;
    	String bs1,bs2, ss;
    	final String separator =System.getProperty("line.separator");
    	public void finalRead(){
    		try{
    			FileWriter fr=new FileWriter("F:/java/Project/outputfiles/FinalCombination.txt");
     
    			b=hfr.readSingle();
    			s=hfr.readSamyukta();
     
    				while((bs1=b.readLine())!=null){
    					while((bs2=b.readLine())!=null){
    						String temp=(bs1+","+bs2); 
    						char []c=temp.toCharArray();
    						for(int i=0;i<c.length;i++){
    						fr.append(c[i]);
    					}
    						fr.append(separator);
    				}
    			while((ss=s.readLine())!=null){
    				String temp=(ss+","+ss); 
    				char []c=temp.toCharArray();
    				for(int i=0;i<c.length;i++){
    				fr.append(c[i]);
    				}
    				fr.append(separator);
     
    			}
    			fr.close();
     
    		}
    				}
    		catch(IOException e){
    			e.printStackTrace();
    		}
    		System.out.println("Done");

    Please post in the correct forum. Thread moved to - File I/O & Other I/O Streams

    You need to provide the input file and also give an example of the desired output.

    loop is running only for first entry of the nested loop
    There is more than one nested loop. Please add some comments to the code explaining WHERE the problem is. Which loop executes and how many times and which loop only executes once etc.

    package combinator;

    import java.io.*;

    import Reader.HandsFileReader;

    public class FinalCombination{

    HandsFileReader hfr=new HandsFileReader();
    BufferedReader b1,b2,s;
    String bs1,bs2, ss;
    final String separator =System.getProperty("line.separator");
    public void finalRead(){
    try{
    FileWriter fr=new FileWriter("F:/java/Project/outputfiles/FinalCombination.txt");

    b1=hfr.readSingle();
    b2=hfr.readSingle();
    s=hfr.readSamyukta();

    while((bs2=b1.readLine())!=null){
    while((bs1=b2.readLine())!=null){
    String temp=(bs1+","+bs2);
    char []c=temp.toCharArray();
    for(int i=0;i<c.length;i++){
    fr.append(c[i]);
    }
    fr.append(separator);
    }
    while((ss=s.readLine())!=null){
    String temp=(ss+","+ss);
    char []c=temp.toCharArray();
    for(int i=0;i<c.length;i++){
    fr.append(c[i]);
    }
    fr.append(separator);

    }
    fr.close();

    }
    }
    catch(IOException e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    System.out.println("Done");
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    FinalCombination fc=new FinalCombination();
    fc.finalRead();
    }
    }


    The Underlined second loop is executing only once while thw outer loop executes untill the end of the file
    here is the sample of the input file


    an,0,0,0,0,0,0
    swa,0,0,0,0,0,0
    dol,0,0,0,0,0,0
    pus,0,0,0,0,0,0
    katv,0,0,0,0,0,0
    an,0,0,0,0,90,0
    swa,0,0,0,0,90,0
    dol,0,0,0,0,90,0
    pus,0,0,0,0,90,0
    katv,0,0,0,0,90,0
    an,0,0,0,0,180,0
    swa,0,0,0,0,180,0
    dol,0,0,0,0,180,0
    pus,0,0,0,0,180,0
    katv,0,0,0,0,180,0
    an,0,0,0,90,0,0
    swa,0,0,0,90,0,0

    total 20,000 input both the file and i want their all possible combinations



    and the output i want is like this all possible combination of two files with 20,000 string entries
    an,0,0,0,0,0,0swa,0,0,0,0,0,0
    dol,0,0,0,0,0,0pus,0,0,0,0,0,0
    katv,0,0,0,0,0,0an,0,0,0,0,90,0
    swa,0,0,0,0,90,0dol,0,0,0,0,90,0
    pus,0,0,0,0,90,0katv,0,0,0,0,90,0
    an,0,0,0,0,180,0swa,0,0,0,0,180,0
    dol,0,0,0,0,180,0pus,0,0,0,0,180,0
    katv,0,0,0,0,180,0an,0,0,0,90,0,0

    please suggest if dere is any other possible way to get such a huge combination

    while((bs1=b.readLine())!=null){
        while((bs2=b.readLine())!=null){
    The outer loop will read the first line in the file. The inner loop will then read all the other lines in the file. Now there are no more lines to read so both loops exit. I take it this is not what you want, especially since the outer loop appears to be pointless. In that case you need to rethink your design.
