Java readline() skipping second line -


i have questions file i'd read, , when reading, want identify questions answers , print them, before each questions there line of "#" characters, code keeps skipping question 1 reason? missing here?

here code:

     try {             // open file first             // command line parameter             fileinputstream fstream = new fileinputstream(path);             bufferedreader br = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(fstream));             string strline;             strline = br.readline();             system.out.println(strline);             // read file line line             while ((strline ) != null) {                 strline = strline.trim();                  if ((strline.length()!=0) && (strline.charat(0)=='#' && strline.charat(1)=='#')) {                      strline = br.readline();                         system.out.println(strline);                         //questions[q] = strline;                  }                  strline = br.readline();             }              // close input stream             fstream.close();            // system.out.println(questions[0]);          } catch (exception e) {// catch exception if             system.err.println("error: " + e.getmessage());         } 

text file

i suspect, file read in utf-8 bom.

the bom code before first character, helps identify proper encoding of textfiles.

the issue bom is, invisible , disturbs reading. textfile bom arguable no longer textfile. especially, if read first line, first character no longer #, different, because character bom+#.

try load file explicit encoding specified. java can handle bom in newer releases, don't remember exactly.

bufferedreader br = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(fstream, "utf-8")); 

otherwise, take decent text editor, notepad++ , change encoding utf-8 without bom or ansi encoding (yuck).
