Checking for extraneous blank lines when creating objects from a text file

Tyler Rossi :

I'm trying to create Student objects by reading from a given text file, but the text file has a bunch of empty blank lines under the actual info. I am not allowed to edit the text file in any way, and am also not allowed to use any other methods besides scanner for reading from the file. Everything works fine until I get to the bottom of the file, where a NoSuchElementExceptionis thrown and the code fails.

        ArrayList<Student> Students = new ArrayList<>();
        while (fileIn.hasNextLine()) {
            Student student = new Student(fileIn.next(), fileIn.next(), fileIn.nextInt());
            student.setExam1(fileIn.nextInt());
            student.setExam2(fileIn.nextInt());
            student.setExam3(fileIn.nextInt());
            Students.add(student);
            fileIn.nextLine();
            System.out.println(student.toString());
        }

The file looks like this

Peck    CSI1000 12345   97  76  72
Rhodes  CSI1000 87649   98  70  73

JRowan :

you can try to catch the exception

    ArrayList<Student> Students = new ArrayList<>();
            while (fileIn.hasNextLine()) {
            try{
                Student student = new Student(fileIn.next(), fileIn.next(), fileIn.nextInt());
                student.setExam1(fileIn.nextInt());
                student.setExam2(fileIn.nextInt());
                student.setExam3(fileIn.nextInt());
                Students.add(student);
                fileIn.nextLine();
                System.out.println(student.toString());
            }catch(NoSuchElementException e){
                //break;
                fileIn.nextLine();

                System.out.println("exception");
            }
            }

or you can just break inside the catch block if after the exception you aren't expecting any more information anyway
