Java - How to check if BufferedReader contains line break before running readLine command -

i trying parse html website specific data. following method reads source , outputs string processed other methods.

    stringbuilder source = new stringbuilder();     url url = new url(urlin);     urlconnection spoof;     spoof = url.openconnection();     spoof.setrequestproperty( "user-agent", "mozilla/4.0 (compatible; msie 5.5; windows nt 5.0; h010818)" );      bufferedreader in = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(spoof.getinputstream()));     string strline = "";      while ((strline = in.readline()) != null){         source.append(strline);     }      return source.tostring(); 

the problem i'm having since call method multiple times different urlin argument each time, method gets stuck @ readline command. read because readline looks line break , if bufferedreader object not contain 1 whatever reason, stuck indefinitely.

is there way check whether bufferedreader object contains line break before run readline command. tried using if (in.tostring().contains("\n")) returns false. alternatively, add "\n" @ end of buffered reader "in" object every time while loop break , not hang indefinitely?

any appreciated.

okay, here should looking for.

fis = new fileinputstream("c:/sample.txt"); reader = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(fis));  system.out.println("reading file line line using bufferedreader");  string line = reader.readline(); while(line != null){     system.out.println(line);     line = reader.readline(); }
