    Default Program to read .TXT file one line at a time

    Hi! I'm fairly new to Java, or even programming in general. I'm using Netbeans to help me find errors and everything, but when I try to run/debug my program, It says there is something wrong with my 'while' loop. Can I have some pointers?

    Main.java
    class Main{
     
        public static void main(String[] args){
     
            filereader fr = new filereader();
            fr.openFile();
            fr.readFile();
            fr.closeFile();
     
        }
     
    }

    filereader.java
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
     
    public class filereader{
     
    private Scanner scan;
     
    public void openFile(){
     
        File codes = new File("codes.txt");
     
        try{
            scan = new Scanner(codes);
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println("Couldn't find file.");
        }
    }
     
    public void readFile(){
        while(scan.hasNext()){
            String num = scan.next();
            String code = scan.next();
     
            System.out.println(num + code);
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println("Press Enter to continue...");
     
            Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
            input.nextLine();
        }
    }
     
    public void closeFile(){
     
        scan.close();
     
    }
     
    }

    Default Re: Program to read .TXT file one line at a time

    It says there is something wrong with my 'while' loop
    Is the error from the compiler?
    Please copy full text of error message and paste it here. Here is a sample:
    TestSorts.java:138: cannot find symbol
    symbol  : variable var
    location: class TestSorts
             var = 2;
             ^
    Or does the error happen when you try to execute the code? Again, copy and paste here the full text of the error message.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
