Hi Matthias,
        
        I changed that code and included the s1.equals("") and i found out
that it is working that blank line is send as a blank line and other lines
are read as a normal line.The output is shown below.

s[0]=this is a test file which can
s[1]=
s[2]=be deleted when not needed.

bye,
MUTHU.
