so, doing project class. can't code print out want. keeps printing out whole entire "poem".
nerddata.txt :
every man tries hard can. best way way. schedule good. cosmo kramer doofus. best movie cancelled. what got far:
import java.util.*; import java.io.*; public class filenerd { public static void main(string args[]) throws ioexception { scanner sf = new scanner(new file("c:\\temp_timmy\\nerddata.txt")); int maxindx = -1; string text[] = new string[1000]; while(sf.hasnext( )) { maxindx++; text[maxindx] = sf.nextline( ) ; } sf.close( ); for(int j = 0; j <= maxindx; j++) { string q = text[j]; system.out.println(q); if( q.substring(3).equals("the")) { system.out.println(q); } } } } code compiles fine doesn't print out lines begin word "the" prints out whole entire poem.
the output want:
the best way way. schedule good. best movie cancelled.
here printing every line
string q = text[j]; system.out.println(q); // try remove also consider using string.startswith substring wrong*
if (q.startswith("the")) { system.out.println(q); } - as per javadcos
"harbison".substring(3) returns "bison"
