Ok, I've been working/ modifying this code for some 6 hours, and still can't get it to work properly! The program is in java and the code is the begininng of a larger spell check program...
This particular code needs only to read a file, find the string "red" and write to a file with "red" being changed to "blue" Any help is appreciated...
(Please, no spam/ useless posts in this thread) Ok, heres the code...
| Code |
public class SpellCheck
{
public static void readFile(String filename)
{
try
{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("blah.txt"));
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("blahout.txt"));
String line = br.readLine();
line = line.toLowerCase();
String[] tokens = line.split(" ");
while (line != null)
{
for(int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++)
{
if(tokens[i] == "red")
{
bw.write("blue");
}
else
{
bw.write(tokens[i] + " ");
}
}
bw.close();
}
}
catch(java.io.IOException e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
readFile("blah.txt");
}
}

In yellow is the loop/ condition I do not understand why it will not execute, once again, help is greatly appreciated...  |

I suspect this to be the problem, unless the string 'red' is in the first line of the input file, in which case I have no idea 
Anyway, inside your "while (line != null)" condition, you never modify line, so once execution gets in there, it can't get out unless an exception occurs. And since line never gets modified (i.e. it doesn't read the next line once you finish checking the first one) then it'll never manage to read past the first line in the file.
Personally, I'd change the while condition to both read and test in one statement, and move the parts that convert it to lowercase and tokenise it inside the while.
I.E, this should work (no guarantees though, it's untested):

String line;
while (line = br.readLine())
{
line = line.toLowerCase();
String[] tokens = line.split(" ");
for(int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++)
{
if(tokens[i] == "red")
{
bw.write("blue");
}
else
{
bw.write(tokens[i] + " ");
}
}
}
bw.close();

Outstanding suggestion, but the txt file is only one line, containing maybe 10 words(for debugging purposes, start small  )
I don't have my IDE up(on a remote machine), but I will give it a try.
Your input, Saikou is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks man! 
Edit: Im such an idiot, I forgot java is retarded and you need .equals as opposed to =  Problem solved |
