[mikem699]

If someone could please help with this program. i get it to have me enter the first line of text and then ask for additional items correctly, but when i say for additional items it skips the next input line and goes straight to asking me if I want to enter more items again.

import java.io.*; // uses the java io library for the

import java.util.*; // BufferedReader class

public class week5_701

{

	public static void main(String [] args)

	{

		PrintWriter outputStream=null;
		try

		{
			outputStream= new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("shoppinglist.txt"));
                }
                catch(FileNotFoundException e)
                {       
                        System.out.println("Error opening the file shoppinglist.txt");
                        System.exit(0);
                }
                int items;
                String line=null;
                System.out.println("This program will put items in your shopping list");
                Scanner keyboard= new Scanner(System.in);
                boolean numbersLeft= true;
                int moreitems=1;
                while (numbersLeft)
                {
                        System.out.println("Enter the next item");
                        line=keyboard.nextLine();
                        System.out.println("Would you like to enter more items, enter 1 for yes or 0 for no");
                        moreitems=keyboard.nextInt();
                        if (moreitems==0)
                           {
                           numbersLeft=false;
                           System.exit(0);
                           }
                        else
                           numbersLeft=true;
                }
                
        }
}

there is content in the buffer which is read as a "line" [the "Enter" which the user has pushed - the nextInt method will read only the int and leaves the rest of the "line" in the input buffer]. Try adding a keyboard.nextLine() statement after the nextInt() statement to flush the buffer.
