Hi. My question is the line reply = myScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0); that works for me sometimes and sometimes doesn't. Yes I have declared reply and myScanner and such. It will compile and when I run it, it comes up with an error NullPointerException.. but sometimes in other programs I write it will work fine.. The one I wrote above it wont work and it should.. any help?

Thanks

Personally I wouldn't use findInLine at all, but I'd do it like this:

boolean cont = true;
while (cont)
{
   //code here
   out.println("Do you want to continue?");
   String answer = myScanner.next();
   cont = answer.length() > 0 && answer.charAt(0) == 'Y';
}
