hasNext call

[scotts]

Hi,
trying to create a program that reads off usernames from the email add..
this is the code:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.PrintStream;
class TestinOne
{
public static void main(String args[])
throws FileNotFoundException
{
Scanner diskScanner = new Scanner(new File("email1.txt"));
PrintStream diskWriter = new PrintStream ("usernamesright.txt");
char symbol;
while(diskScanner.hasNext())
{
symbol = diskScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0);
while ( symbol != '@')
{
diskWriter.print(symbol);
symbol = diskScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0);
}
}
diskScanner.nextLine();
diskWriter.println();
}
}
but its not working..
any solutions?

but its not working

Can you show what it does do, why that is wrong and what you want changed?

Does "diskScanner.findInLine(".")" always return a String? Read the doc.
Maybe you should test what is returned first.

And also "it's not working" doesn't help us help you. Please see: It Doesnt Work Is Useless

Hi,
sry abt the lack of details..
instead of getting the usernames only, whatever comes before and after the @ is printed in the usernamesright.txt file. ie instead of printing joho from the email address joho@hotmail.com, it prints johohotmail.com..
plus it does not go till the end of the file..ie the second email add username is not being printed..
any solutions..

For debugging add println()s to show the values of the variables as they are read in and as they are changed.
For example what value is returned by: diskScanner.findInLine(".")?
