For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
End of File on a Java BufferedReader

How do you sense if a BufferedReader in Java has reached the end of file? Like so many "things Java" it's easy enough to do ... once you find that vital method in the lists of thousands of calls!

There's no "eof"; there's no checking the input to see if you got nothing back after a read as that happens when at the end of file AND at embedded blank lines. But the ready method tells you if you have data available of not - and that's the one to use.

Here's a sample piece of code in Java to echo the first 12 lines of a file, and to count all the lines in the file too.

File myFile = new File ("access_log.xyz");
BufferedReader newFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(myFile));
int k=1;
while (true){
  if (! newFile.ready()) break;
  String next_line = newFile.readLine();
  if (k<12){
    System.out.println("Line Number:"+k+" - "+next_line);
    }
  k++;
  }
