    Default Not able to read from a textfiel the way it's supposed to.

    I had been trying to make digital books. However, I wanted to split it into pages and had been wondering if there was a way to store entire chapters and use tags, like html, sort of, to tell it what to put into the text area for each page. I tried something like this and it's kind of working, though it's losing the first word in between each of the tags. I don't care if the tags themselves aren't read in. But how do I get the first words in? This may also lead to Scanner redundancy reading, but would reduce space wise the amount I'd have to use.

       }

    It is giving me this:
     

    is a sample paragraph. It is being used to see if I can only scan part of a document and stop at line breaks. Hopefully I can.
    it is being used to check to see if I can also stop when a page is done. Let's see if it works.




    But I wanted it to give me this:

    Also, it is being used to check to see if I can also stop when a page is done. Let's see if it works.




    How do I fix that?

    Default Re: Not able to read from a textfiel the way it's supposed to.

    I haven't used the console much, but maybe the console is skipping the first word because of this line:

    while (!console.next().equals("</Page1>"))

    Particulary the console.next() part. To repeat, I'm not entirely sure about this, but maybe because you're calling console.next in this line to check the first word, it is skipping past the first word when you tell it to read the entire line. So, maybe you need to assign console.next() to a String variable before testing its value, so that you can add it back into the line when you call console.nextLine().

    Hopefully that makes sense?

    I added some lines to the text file. It's getting better but it's still not quite working.

    I added a new line: I can almost get it to work, but it won't quite get the tabs.

    Output:

    next()
    Finds and returns the next complete token from this scanner.
    So, be careful while using next(), that will skips the tokens. Instead of using like this, change your
    while (!console.next().equals("</Page1>"))
    this line into
    while (console.hasNext() && !console.nextLine().equals("</Page1>"))

    Ok, now it's ignroing everything in between <Page1> and </Page1>

    and continuing on with the other things and is printing out:

     

    </Page1>
    <Page2>

    </Page2>
    <Page3>

       }

    I'm worried I have redundancy. I originally had that second Scanner so that it would recognize line breaks and add a "/n" every time it found a line break.

    However, now I fear it's using nextLine() twice for every loop or something and losing all the data.

    statement.

    You must see how your code is actually behaving. Don't just stick with the famous "Hit and Miss". Try to think yourself why it's actually ignoring the internal part, coz you are telling it to. It's not the JVM's fault but your code's.
    Remove the if as already told and try running your program. You've changed many things in your this code. Add the above given while condition in your very first code you have posted here.

    It worked just fine but when I decided to see what would happen if I added a new line just below the first one but didn't have a blank line, it went back to the bad output again.

       import javax.swing.JScrollPane;

          }
     
     
       }

    However, this error happens if a line is like:


    Bla bla bla bla bla bla [Enter key]
    Bla bla bla bla bla bla

    Or something like that.

    If it wraps on its own, then it's fine.

    Default Re: Not able to read from a textfiel the way it's supposed to.

    Ok, when I tried it with the second text area, this time using <Page2> </Page2> as the edges, and I wanted it not to read in anything between <Page1> and </Page1> at all, it gave me nothing for the second text area, though the first was fine.

    Remember that
    while(console.hasNext())
    this code hasNext() until it reaches to the end of file. I hope you got the clue now why it's not showing the results between <page2> and </page2>

    Not quite. I added the lines:


    if (console.next().equals("<Page2>"))
    {

    while (console.hasNext() && !console.nextLine().equals("</Page2>"))
    {
    String nextInputLine = console.nextLine();

    lineScanner = new Scanner(nextInputLine);

    while(lineScanner.hasNext())
    {
    area2Text = area2Text + lineScanner.nextLine();
    }

    area2Text = area2Text+ "\n" + "\n";
    }
    }


    to the code above in that while loop and it still wouldn't work.

    It throws a NoSuchElementException in fact.

    Ok, I changed it from an if to an else if and now the exception is gone but it's still returning nothing.

    Default Re: Not able to read from a textfiel the way it's supposed to.

    What is this part for:

    while(console.hasNext())
    {
    System.out.println("Hi");
    if (console.next().equals("<Page2>"))
    {

    while (console.hasNext() && !console.nextLine().equals("</Page2>"))
    {
    String nextInputLine = console.nextLine();

    lineScanner = new Scanner(nextInputLine);

    while(lineScanner.hasNext())
    {
    area2Text = area2Text + lineScanner.nextLine();
    }

    area2Text = area2Text+ "\n" + "\n";
    }
    }

    That must have been the old code. It makes sense I guess now.
