import java.io.*;
class FileRead
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
      try{
    // Open the file that is the first
    // command line parameter
    FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("2RQV.pdb");
    // Get the object of DataInputStream
    DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
    String strLine;//Read File Line By Line
   
    while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) 
    {
      System.out.println (strLine);// Print the content on the console
    }
 
    //Close the input stream
    in.close();
    }catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
      System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
    }
  }
}

Please use code tags when you are posting code segment here in the forum. If you don't know how to do that please check on my signature. You can find a link to the relevant help document.

About your question. So what happen when you run your code? Any errors? Please explain your question more clearly with relevant details. Otherwise it's difficult to answer lol. No one wants to test your code and fix the bugs.

When i run the code using jcreator, the file it reads from keeps getting read continuously, is there a way for me to change the codes just for it to show once?

and do you know how i can create a program that I can extract a certain part of the text file to get the information i want?

You mean the following is infinitely executed ?

Code:

---

    while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) 
    {
      System.out.println (strLine);// Print the content on the console
    }

---

So what could be happen there? What that code segment do, can you identify?

To read a part of a file, then your file must have some kind of an information to track that which part you want to read. Because Java programs are not intelligence to find what you really want, you cannot do that in Java. So what you've to do is pick that information and proceed from there.

Did you have tried anything related to that, mean reading the part of the file?

I've tried reading the whole file, but now I'm trying to have the program read part of the file and printing it on a new file. Meaning, I should have one original file containing all information followed by a new file containing the information I want. Do you know to go about doing it in java?

What you mean by reading the whole file? Can you show what you've tried?
