    Default write lines which start without cahracter

    NB: thread heading is littele bit wrong, I want to exclude lines from writing to output which start with specific character
    human
    donkey
    monkery
    I want to write human and monkey, and exclude line which starts with "d"-donkey.


    Is there built in method or smthng to say to write from file to another file lines that do not start with defined charachter so i can enter that character into parameters or..?


           try {
                File input = new File("input");
                File output = new File("output");
                Scanner sc = new Scanner(input);
                PrintWriter printer = new PrintWriter(output);
                while (sc.hasNextLine()) {
                    String s = sc.nextLine();
                    printer.write(s);
                }
                printer.flush();
            }
            catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                System.err.println("File not found. Please scan in new file.");
            }

    No, but it's a plain if statement checking the first char of the line. Check the String API doc for useful methods.
