'end of file' in JAVA

[trixie]

Hi!

How do we check for the 'end of file' in JAVA?

When we open a file and wish to read it till the end, we need to check for the end of file, right? [in C (while(!feof()))] How is that done in JAVA?

thanks!

well one way to check for it is just to read the file line by line by line and check for null.


for instance if you are loading a line of your file into a string called testThis,

just use the loop

while(testThis != null)
{
do what you want to do here.;
}
someFile.close();

I usually just do it the same as in C and write


while(!tesThis.atEOF())
{
do stuff.
}
someFile.close()

and then write the method atEOF()

public boolean atEOF()
{
if(this.getData = null)
return true
else
return false
}
