Scanner doubt

[Wryfyng]

Hello, first of all sorry for my English. I'm trying to do a program to read a file using Scanner. The problem is that I need to read what is the content of each line twice and while I use entrada.nextLine() it jumps to the next line. Here it is a part of the program. Thanks.

public static void cargaDatosP(){
Scanner entrada= null;
try {
entrada = new Scanner (new FileInputStream("personas.txt"));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("Error abriendo el fichero");
System.exit(-1);
}
while(entrada.hasNextLine()){
String[] campos=new String[10];
for(int i=0;entrada.hasNextLine();i++) { //Here I need to stop and go back to the while when I find a "*" in the file
campos[i]=entrada.nextLine();
}

If you need to examine the content of whatever is returned by nextLine(), simply store it in a String value and do whatever you want with it.

ok, thanks, that's solved, now the problem is that when I compare the String I've used with a "*" it doesn't match with it, though when I print the content of the String it appears "*". do u know why does it happen?
I've heard sth in class about putting "\\*" instead or sth like that.

You'll have to post the code you're using to match the String. Are you using a method from the String class? Are you using Patterns?

How are you doing your string compare? Not with == I hope?

lol solved, I was doing it with ==
thanks a lot for the quick answers

No problem! Common mistake. Have fun!
