    Default Re: Index error

    There is a possible logic problem here:
           String line1 = reader1.readLine();    // read first line
            while(line1!=null) {                       //  execute loop if first line not null
                System.out.println(line1);          // print first line
                line1 = reader1.readLine();        // read second line (could be null)
                listCliente1.add(line1);              //  save second line (could be null)
            }
    The code skips saving the first line and saves the null as the last value.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
