Input file --> input.txt (contains the lines below)
---------------------------------------------
1. Something something
2. Something something
3. Something something
4. Something something
5. Something something
---------------------------------------------
Requirement:
Read the text file line by line and compare a character in the current line with all the lines below it.
For example if it reads line 2, then it should compare a character in line 2 with line 3, line 4 and line 5. If it reads line 3 then it should compare a character in line 3 with line 4 and line 5. And so on..
The current code reads a line, but then it compares a character in the current line with all the lines (above, below and including the current line)
How do I correct this?
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
public class dfg {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
File directory = new File("./in");
File myfiles[] = directory.listFiles();
for (File inputfile : myfiles) {
String filename = inputfile.getName();
System.out.println("FileName = " + filename);
BufferedReader input1 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputfile));
String[] str1 = null;
String[] str2 = null;
String strLine1, strLine2;
while ((strLine1 = input1.readLine()) != null){
str1=strLine1.split("");
BufferedReader input2 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputfile));
while ((strLine2 = input2.readLine()) != null) {
str2=strLine2.split("");
if (str1[3].equals(str2[13]))
{
System.out.println("Match Found");
}
}
}
}
System.out.println("=================End of Program=================");
}
}
