Thread: How do I loop this if statement?

How do I loop this if statement from my program?


if (fileNames.contains(".txt")) {

System.out.println("Text File:" + fileNames);
fileNames = scan.nextLine();
}

else {

System.out.println("");
fileNames = scan.nextLine();

}
}

I think you need to add a for loop and how many times does it need to loop, what's the purpose of the code?

Try putting the if/else statement between this:

for (int i=?; i<? ;i++)
{
}

Question marks depend on number of times you want it to loop.
int i probably equals 0.

Sorry if this does not help I am new to this too.

What exactly you want to do?
We can't just read minds. Though we can assume but you not assumptions will never always lead you to the solution. So ask a proper question and get proper answer. Well, if you don't really know the loops, see Reply # 02 to your thread and you will get your answer.

I suggest you to take a look to while loop. It makes possible to iterate code while a statement is true (for example while your file has next lines to be read).
