How to search file and grab the field needed?

Question

New to java. Now I am trying to open, read and search a file, but Eclipse is giving me an error. Here is my code:

import java.io.*;

class Test2 {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {            
      BufferedReader doc = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("E:\\Grad\\Project\\test.csv"));
      /* String userInput;    */
      String docCont = new String();
      while ((docCont = doc.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(docCont);
        doc.close();
      }
    } catch(IOException ie) {
      ie.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}   

The code compiles, but when I try to run it I get this:

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

Internal Error (javaClasses.cpp:136), pid=5036, tid=4704
fatal error: Invalid layout of preloaded class

Any idea what this is about? Thanks.

Your close statement is in your while loop, so on the first iteration, you will no longer be able to read from your reader. Write this instead:

BufferedReader doc = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("E:\\Grad\\Project\\test.csv"));
String docCont = new String();
while ((docCont = doc.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(docCont);
}
doc.close();
