scanning lines from notepad, by creating a loop "while(input_line=NULL) {"

[noobplus]

 
while(input_line!=null)
	    {	
	    	 System.out.println("---------------");
	    	 System.out.println("Line No:"+TotalLineCount);//"TotalLineCount" is incremented after each line-scanning
	    	
	    	
	    	input_line =in.readLine();
	    	input_line=input_line.replaceAll("\"","");
	    	input_split = input_line.split(" ");    	   	
	    	
	    	 System.out.println("Input Line:"+input_line);
	    	 System.out.print(input_split.length);
	    	 System.out.print("x"+input_split[0]);
	    	 System.out.print("y"+input_split[2]);
	    		        
	    	TotalLineCount++; //at the final line, it reaches the file-length. and the next line is null. 
                                         //but the while loop continues.. cuz, input_line is present yet. 
                                         //Thus I get an error during run-time "nullpointerexception"
                                         //Is there another looping technique?
	    	
	    }

while((input_line=in.readLine()) !=null)

then you can delete line 7.
