split not working

[johnv20]

Hi,
can anybody please shed some light on why the split command below is retuning an error message of method not found ?
import java.io.*;
public class reader
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

try
{
String location = new String();
location = "g:\\perl\\wipscan.txt";
FileReader wipscan = new FileReader(location);
BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(wipscan);
boolean eof = false;

while (!eof)
{
String[] ar_Test = line.split("\\~"
if (line == null)
{
eof = true;
}
else
{
String[] ar_Test = line.split("\\~"
}
}
//more code here

Thanks

This is most likely due to the wrong version of Java being used. This is new in Java 1.4. So if you are using a Java 1.3 compiler you will get this error at compile time.
Hope this helps
