Once return is called, the method is exiting. So even with the loop, it returns the first value, and control is back in your main method. Try putting the loop around the call to getWord:

while (!end_of_file)
  System.out.println(file.getWord());

Also, please post your code between code tags to make it more readable in the future.

Can you post an example file please?

ok, i was wondering why it wasn't staying spaced out haha. i'll try that, thanks man.

@goose, the file i'm working with is 27,000 lines long and probably 50 spaces per line

[MrLuke187]

If you want to read every single line from a txt-File, there's a easier method than working with FileInputStreams.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;


public class ReadFile {
	String line_text;
	int line;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
		try {
			BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"));
			// Reading the Document:
			String line_text = "";
			int line = 1;
			while ((line_text = in.readLine()) != null){
				System.out.println("Line "+line+ ": "+line_text);
				line++;
			}
			// Closing Reader
			in.close();			
		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

}

This reads every line from the Document "file.txt" and prints it out.

If you need Int variables, you can add this to the while-loop:

int your_int = Integer.parseInt(line_text);

This will give you an Intenger, if the content in your file really is an Intenger...

xclite, it worked. thanks for the help.

thanks luke, i will try that as well to see which one is more efficient.

First off, . Second, so you're trying to read a file full of ints and display them in a list? Why not just put this as your main:

public static void main(String[] args) {

try{
InputFileDeclared file = new InputFileDeclared("C:/Users/Chris/Documents/proofWork/tTrans1.txt");

while(file.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(file.getWord());
} // end while

} // end try

catch(exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage);
} // end catch

} // end main method

This should put each int on a new line for ya until the file ends.



EDIT: Holy crap everybody posted at once, that or I'm just slow lol.

A Scanner would probably be easiest:

Scanner s = new Scanner(inputFile);
while(s.hasNextInt()) {
	int i = s.nextInt();
	// Process it
}
s.close();

ok heres what this is for. I have to go into the external file, get a certain list of ints, put them through my algorithm to return T-representation of 2 lists. once that happens i have to print to an external .txt file. then im done.

[MrLuke187]

If you're sure that your input File contains only Int's, you can use my or g00se method, they botch return Intengers.

To write the list's your creating in an other file, you can use a BufferedWriter

the list doesn't only contain ints, i will post some example lines from the text:

27000 = + 6^2 + 7^2 + 8^2 + 9^2 + 10^2 + 11^2 + 15^2 + 22^2 + 28^2 + 33^2 + 42^2 + 45^2 + 63^2 + 72^2 + 105^2
26999 = + 6^2 + 7^2 + 8^2 + 9^2 + 10^2 + 11^2 + 14^2 + 20^2 + 28^2 + 40^2 + 44^2 + 48^2 + 72^2 + 80^2 + 88^2
26998 = + 6^2 + 7^2 + 8^2 + 9^2 + 10^2 + 11^2 + 14^2 + 22^2 + 33^2 + 35^2 + 42^2 + 45^2 + 54^2 + 72^2 + 108^2

Could you further expand on this? I tried googling t-representation, but I didn't get anything.

OK - in that case use next() instead of nextInt

[irmoathlete]

ok i'm working on computer assisted proofs for the math department. t-representation can be called 1-representable, 2-representable and so on. theres a lot of math behind it. the math part isnt the problem its just the external sources returning the int lists that i was having trouble with. So if i just use .next() it should work then.

It isn't that easy . If you use the next() method, you're getting a String from the whole line from your document. If this is all you need, you're cool with that.

But if you need your Programm to perform those Math-Operations you have in your file, you'll have to split the String up...
