Thread: allow a new input, dicarding the last mismatch input without terminating the program

I am a beginner in java programming
I am using NetBeans IDE 4.1


this code is supposed to do this :-

1- create a file "C:\\newTest.txt" . use PrintWriter for writing.

2- use Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in) to write from keyboard

3- take two values (int idNum, double bal) and add it to object (AccountRecord record)

4- use while loop to write a sequence of inputs and has a condition that check if (idNum > 0) then write to the file created, otherwise will not write to the file andl terminates

what is wrong with this point of code:
5- InputMismatchException is thrown if type other than int or double is entered.
What I need here is to allow a new input, dicarding the last invalid mismatch input without terminating the program

 
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
 
 
public class CreateClientsFile {
 
    private PrintWriter pr;
 
    public void openFile() {
 
        try {
            File f1 = new File("C:\\newTest.txt");
            pr = new PrintWriter(f1);
        } catch(FileNotFoundException es) {
            System.out.println("Error: " + es);
        }
    }
 
 
    public void addRecords() {
        Scanner input = null;
        AccountRecord record = null;  [COLOR=red]//AcountRecord has two fields int idNum and double bal[/COLOR]
        try {
 
            input = new Scanner(System.in);
            int idNum = input.nextInt();
            double bal = input.nextDouble();
            record = new AccountRecord(idNum, bal);
            int num = 0;
            while ((num = input.nextInt())>=0) [COLOR=red]//loop check the first field. if (idNum < 0) then terminate.[/COLOR]
            {
                pr.write("#" + idNum + " " + "Balance:$" + bal);
 
                System.out.println("to stop enter negative input for idNum");
                input = new Scanner(System.in);
                idNum = input.nextInt();
                bal = input.nextDouble();
                record = new AccountRecord(idNum, bal);
            }
        } catch(InputMismatchException exx) {
            System.out.println("Error: You have entered invalid input " + exx);
            input = new Scanner(System.in);  [COLOR=red]//What I need here is to allow a new input, dicarding the last invalid mismatch input without terminating the program.[/COLOR]   
        }
 
    }
 
 
    public void closeFile() {
        pr.close();
    }
 
 
 
}

change where your try catch block is so that it is withing the loop and encompasses the input section
