    cheating in settlement Hi,

    Last year my shopping amount was 3000 INR plus some previous amount not more than 3000, and including all the charges and late fees the toltal amount goes to 19000.

    I want it to be parsed, such that i can get the date, name of the person who sent this message. since there are blank lines in text file i am not knowing how to go about this.
    Can anyone tell how to parse this file?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    I would suggest taking a look at this code - http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...ner-class.html

    Each line will be read in as a String which you can then manipulate and extract data from.
    Please use [highlight=Java] code [/highlight] tags when posting your code.
