Reading from a text file with loops in Eclipse; Intro Java course Lesson 4 Video 7

This series of videos is suitable for programmers with minimal (or no) programming experience who want to learn Java. This is the twenty-fourth video in the Introductory Java series, and the seventh video in lesson 4 (looping). In this video we're going to look at reading from a text file using Java and Eclipse using loops.

There is a suggested (free) book below that you could read along with the videos lessons. However, the video is very straightforward and can also stand alone or accompany any other introductory Java textbook. Let's have some fun learning to program in Java!

Thanks Maggy, another well-run lesson!
It would have great to see the final demonstration on screen.
It is necessary to clear the buffer if and only if you read a string after having read a type number seems to me to summarize the matter simply.
