read next byte

[Timo Lumme]

hi, how tell count read next char(byte) from file?

    

	public void fileReadInputData()
	{
		Thread Pause1 = new Thread();
		Pause1.start();
		try
		{
			FileReader fr = new FileReader("TestData.txt");
			BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
			int count;			
					
			do
			{
																
			count = fr.read(text);
      			for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
      			System.out.print(text[i]);
      			        		
        		Pause1.sleep(500);
        		
        		if(text[0] == '[')
        		{
        			//System.out.print("[");
        		}	
        		if(text[0] == '.')
        		{
        			//System.out.print(".");
        		}
        		
        		if(text[0] == '1')
        		{
        			//System.out.print("1");
        			InputNumberDataMatrix.add(text[0]);
        			
        		if(text[0] != '.' || text[0] != '[' || text[0] !=  ']')
        		{
        			//Here read next byte from file ..?!
        			InputNumberDataMatrix.add(text[0]);
        		}
        	}
.....etc 

problem is that is reads the number 1 again and doesnt read the next char / byte from file ...

note that one of the tips in how to ask a question is "Post Real Code". It is always faster to help someone if they post the actual working code they are using.

I have some questions about what you posted:

where does the variable named "text" come from?

why create a buffered reader and not use it?

why are you creating and starting the thread Pause1?

heres the full code:

	}
	
	public void LottoGameNumbers()
	{

}

TestData.txt has a single line inside: [5.7.14.18.24.26.31]
trying to read into vector the numbers but prb is to read 2 digits as one or at once ..
into the vector ..
