readLine(), skipping a line

Hello guys!!!
The following the code for reading, and printing the lines if the file "fil1.txt".
---------------------------------------------------------
import java.io.*;

class ReadOne
{
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
{

FileReader f1 = new FileReader("c:\\test\\fil1.txt");
BufferedReader file = new BufferedReader(f1);

String text;
int i=0;
while(file.readLine()!= null)
{
text=file.readLine();

i++;

System.out.println(text);
}
System.out.println("\n The value of I is: "+i);
file.close();
}
}

---------------------------------------
The problem is that the file "fil1.txt" has 12 lines and this code is only showing 6 lines. i.e. it is skipping every alternate line.
the contents of the file are the followiing, so that u can try and guide me, about the problem.

Any sort of help will be appreciated.

I know nothing about java, but possible the line

System.out.println("\n The value of I is: "+i);

and the +i is causing the counter to add again? Im really not sure thats just a guess and I would assume that it would be i++ to add again.

i2c

import java.io.*;

public class projectMain {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String line;
FileReader f1 = new FileReader(new File("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\.netbeans\\3.6\\sampledir\\projects\\inputLimiter\\fil1.txt"));
BufferedReader read = new BufferedReader(f1);

while((line = read.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}

read.close();
}
}

You need to change the path, your loop was a bit screwed up so its fixed. =)

ok, Thanx

If you didn't understand what ;TT did, basically you were reading from the file twice before you assigned it to your string. everytime you do a readLine(), it reads a line and goes to the next waiting for you to read again. so when you did...
while(file.readLine()!= null)
{
text=file.readLine();
you were reading a line and checking to see it wasn't null, then you were reading another line. That's bad cause you skip a line, and you could still get null because you're reading another line after you check for null, which isn't checked.

Another option, standard academic style while (test boolean) structure with boolean that is set when your conditions are met.


boolean loop = true;
while (loop) {
String line = file.readLine();
System.out.println(line);
loop = (line == null);
}

or the same thing, just in a manner that doesn't hit the conditional on the loop when you explicit condition is met, you kick out of the loop and go about your business.

while (true) {
String line = file.readLine();
System.out.println(line);
if (line == null) {
break;
}
}

The one above is a little cleaner, because it uses fewer variables and doesn't have the break.
