Java - Scanner Class - Skipping over the first line when reading a textfile

Question

When using a Scanner object to read from a textfile, I want it to skip over the very first line in the file. How would I do achieve this?

Answer 1

Add the below code before the while loop to skip the first line.

if(file.hasNext()==true)
{
   file.nextLine();
}
else
{
    System.out.println("Error: File is empty");
    return null;
}
