Using BufferedReader.readLine() in a while loop properly

Question

So I\'m having an issue reading a text file into my program. Here is the code:

     try{
        InputStream fis=new FileInputStream(targetsFile);
        Bu

Thank you to SLaks and jpm for their help. It was a pretty simple error that I simply did not see.

As SLaks pointed out, br.readLine() was being called twice each loop which made the program only get half of the values. Here is the fixed code:

try{
        InputStream fis=new FileInputStream(targetsFile);
        BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis));
        String words[]=new String[5];
        String line=null;
        while((line=br.readLine())!=null){
            words=line.split(" ");
            int targetX=Integer.parseInt(words[0]);
            int targetY=Integer.parseInt(words[1]);
            int targetW=Integer.parseInt(words[2]);
            int targetH=Integer.parseInt(words[3]);
            int targetHits=Integer.parseInt(words[4]);
            Target a=new Target(targetX, targetY, targetW, targetH, targetHits);
            targets.add(a);
        }
        br.close();
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        System.err.println("Error: Target File Cannot Be Read");
    }

Thanks again! You guys are great!
