Whats wrong with this statement

[zzyzx]

What's causing the causing the compile problem. Isn't
dataInputLine.equals( "" ) evaluated to boolean?

dataInputLine is a defined as a String. I compile and get the error
msg. listed below. :-(

If( dataInputLine.equals( "" ) ) // Line 636
{
// Place holder.
}
else
{
// Place holder.
}

C:\WIN\Some.java:636: ';' expected
If( dataInputLine.equals( "" ) )

^
C:\WIN\Some.java:636: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method If (boolean)
location: class NDCSubjectData
If( dataInputLine.equals( "" ) )

Thanks

If( dataInputLine.equals( "" ) ) // Line 636

Just a spelling error. That should be "if".

If(

if must be lower case. If would be a constructor.

ALWAYS solve the 1st line error from the compiler 1st then recompile, until
more experienced anyway.
But your problem here is the capital 'I' in if, it thinks it's a method.

This is what happens when you write your code using Microsoft Word

check the statements before and after if and make sure you put ";" to end statments.

Recompile I think this error is due to previous error.

"If" is not a java keyword "if" is
