Why is the program not displaying the lines with the strings one, two, etc?
Thanks

Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file);

while (inputFile.hasNext())
{
String friendName = inputFile.nextLine();

System.out.println(filename);

}
}

Can i see the output??

Do not understand what you are asking I am a complete novice

I've never used Scanner, but a quick glance at the API doc for the class makes me think that 'hasNext' and 'nextLine' is not a good combination. 'hasNext' and 'next' seem better matched but not appropriate for you, since you're not (yet) interested in delimiters. There's a more appropriate method than 'hasNext' to test for more lines of input. Try that one and see if you get what you want.

Put your code in code tags. See the "BB Code" link below.

Im sorry I do not understand what you are suggesting besides BBCODE

Norm has done a better job than I have of reading your code

Yes I am getting that inside of NetBean IDE. I want it to print One two three etc.

Please tell me if it is obvious because I have been at this since 9am this morning

Thanks. About to try right now.
