Reading txt files and display the data with a line break

Question

Here is my code for reading a txt file, but I can't seem to properly arrange the output of the file content.

This is the file content:

venti lador 13 male taguig

pito dingal 26 male pateros

dony martinez 24 male hagonoy

package testprojects;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;

public class ReadTextFile {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C://Users/PAO/Desktop/sampletxt.txt"));
        String line;

        while ((line = bf.readLine()) != null) {
            String[] value = line.split(" ");

            for (int x = 0; x < value.length; x++) {
                if (x >= 5) {
                    System.out.println();
                }
                System.out.print(value[x] + " ");
            }
        }
    }
}

Output:

venti lador 13 male taguig pito dingal 26 male pateros dony martinez 24 male hagonoy

Desired output:

venti lador 13 male taguig

pito dingal 26 male pateros

dony martinez 24 male hagonoy

Answer 1

Change your condition to

if((x + 1) % 5 == 0 || (x == value.length - 1))

So that it will skip line at each 5 datas or if your reach the last data of your row.

You would have something like this :

System.out.print(value[x] + " " );
if((x + 1) % 5 == 0 || (x == value.length - 1))
    System.out.println();
