I'm not sure on how to do it, so that if the file lacks name or category, the program will print something like --Skip the item: Iced Coffe::30
.
Because, if I were to make a = scan.nextLine()
and then put a
as %s
in name.isEmpty || category.isEmpty
it will skip the current line to the next line, which will make scan.next()
, scan.nextInt()
, and scan.nextBoolean()
read the next line.
This is the file with the list of items I need to read.
Name::Category::0::true
Espresso::Hot Coffee::35::false
Chocolate Milk Shake::Cool Drink::60::true
Hot Plain Milk::Hot Milk::false
Honey Lemon Iced Tea::Ice Tea::40::false
Double Chocolate Milk Shake::Iced Milk::50::true
Hot Chinese Tea::Hot Tea::30:: false
Iced Caramel Milk::Iced Milk::40
Iced Mocha::Iced Coffee::40::false
Iced Coffee::30
Hot Americano::Hot Coffee::40::false
This is the desired output:
File containing drinks: Drink.txt
Try again! Cannot find the file Drink.txt
File containing drinks: src/Drink.txt
--Incorrect price skip: Hot Plain Milk::Hot Milk::false
--Skip the item: Iced Coffee::30
Instead of using a single Scanner
, you could use two of them: one to read the file's lines, and a second one to fetch the data from each line.
