Thread: simple program for reading text file

please if anyone could help me with the following code that would be greatly appreciated

the code come more or less from a tutorial book

1.
import java.io.*;

public class testRead{

public static void main (String []args){
File f = new File("test.txt");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));


Movie movie = readMovie(in);

public Movie readMovie(BufferedReader in)
{
String line = "";
String [] data;
String string1,string2,string3;



line = in.readLine();

if (line !=null)
{
data = line.split("\t");
string1 =data[0];
string2=data[1];
string3 =data[2];
return new Movie(string1,string2,string3);
}
else
{
return null;
}
}

}

}

2.


public class Movie{

public String string1, string2, string3;

public Movie(String string1, String string2, String string3)
{
this.string1 = string1;
this.string2 = string2;
this.string3 = string3;

}

}

3. a text file called test.txt with the following data


hello 1 29
john 2 30

i am getting the following errors:


testRead.java12:error:illegal start of expression
public Movie readMove(BufferedReader in)
^

testRead.java12:error:";" expected
public Movie readMove(BufferedReader in)
^
testRead.java12:error:";" expected
public Movie readMove(BufferedReader in)
^

sorry, in what i just posted i tried to get the ^ symbol under the 'p' in public first time, then under '(', then under ')'

thanks for help so far - forgot to come back and respond at the time

i'm also having a couple of problems with the following
(missing return type and unreachable statment):

[highlight = Java]

import java.util.Scanner;

public class testMethod{
static Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main (String []args){


boolean continueOrNot = true;
do

{
playGame();
}
while (continueOrNot);
}

public static void playGame()
{
int number = (int)(Math.random()*10)+1;
int guess = getGuess();

}

public static int getGuess()
{
boolean validInput=true;
while (!validInput)
{
int guess = sc.nextInt();
if ((guess <1) || (guess >10))
{
System.out.print("Wrong");
validInput = false;
}
else
{
return guess;
validInput = true;
}
}//end of while

}//end of getGuess method



}//end of class
