Java First Line of File Does Not Equal User Input

[gbradham]

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;

public class GB_Project3 {
    File english = new File("english.txt");
        File panjabi = new File("panjabi.txt");
        Scanner readEnglish = new Scanner(english);
        Scanner readPanjabi = new Scanner(panjabi);
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        int count = 0;
        int line = 0;
        String translate = "";

        System.out.println("Enter an english word: ");
        String userInput = input.nextLine();

        while (readEnglish.hasNextLine()) {
            String englishInfo = readEnglish.nextLine();
            if (englishInfo.equals(userInput)) {
                line = count;
            }
            count++;
        }
        if (line == 0) {
            System.out.println("This word does not exist in our dictionary!");
        } else {
            for (int i = 0; i < line; i++) {
                translate = readPanjabi.nextLine();
            }
            System.out.println(translate);
        }

    }
}

The point of this code is to see if a user's input matches a text file, and then translate it to panjabi. It will do this fine for every single word EXCEPT the first line, "my". I have tried debugging this for hours and have no idea what to do. I am still a beginner and have tried searching for answers but have not found anything and have resorted to posting on a forum.

Your code did not compile for me. Did you leave out the main() method by mistake ? That would explain the superfluous curly bracket at the end. Anyway when I could compile it, the problem was clear. Your last loop should be

for (int i = 0; i <= line; i++)

assuming that both text files have the same number of lines. You were stopping just one short of the desired word.

Yes, I figured out the problem was that I was stopping 1 short. Thank you.
