I am playing around with the Scanner class for learning purposes and i use it to read a very large file (60.000 lines aprox) without using the Reader class , and it stops reading after approximately 400 lines. Do i have to use a Bufferedreader inside the Scanner's constructor or the problem is something else? I want to know why this is happening. Thanks. My code is the usual code to output all the lines.
File file1 = new File("file1");
Scanner in= new Scanner(file1);
while (scan.hasNextLine() ) {
String str = scan.nextLine();
System.out.println(str);
}
This issue is usually more common on 64 bit machines or with files having size more than 1-2 GB and does not have anything to do with heap space. Switch to BufferedReader it should work fine,
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filepath));
String line = "";
while((line=br.readLine())!=null)
{
// do something
}
