That has been solved. I'm sorry that I didn't remember the tab characters following the word 'technology', in that line. I was looking at a text version when I wrote that and in that line I don't use the tab characters. The first line is solely to identify what file is being read.
The significant fact was that the line ended with a line feed. The solution was, when using CrLfFileStream to look for a carriage return instead of for a line feed. (Alternatively, when using FileStream to look for a line feed instead of issuing nextLine.) _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
