Java Scanner returning null but already filtered out

public void process() throws InputMismatchException {
//System.out.println(code);



if(sc.findInLine("JP++") == null || sc.findInLine("START") == null){
throw new RuntimeException("Program has to start with 'JP++ _NAME_ START' ");



}
sc.nextLine();
while(sc.hasNext()){
if (sc.findInLine(Pattern.compile("JP......")) != "JP++ END" ){
Scanner r = sc;
if(!r.hasNextLine() || r.findInLine(Pattern.compile(".")) == null){
return;
}
System.out.println(sc.nextLine());

}

}

}


This code is a part of a lexer I am currently working on. I already filtered out to prevent the scanner from outputting null and it still output:



hello 
world
null


my input: " JP++ HELLO WORLD START n hello n worldn JP++ END"



How can I solve this thx

I just tested this code :



    String input = "   JP++ HELLO WORLD START n hello n worldn JP++ END";
Scanner sc = new Scanner(input);

if(sc.findInLine("JP++") == null || sc.findInLine("START") == null){
throw new RuntimeException("Program has to start with 'JP++ _NAME_ START' ");
}
sc.nextLine();
while(sc.hasNext()){
if (sc.findInLine(Pattern.compile("JP......")) != "JP++ END" ) {
Scanner r = sc;
if(!r.hasNextLine() || r.findInLine(Pattern.compile(".")) == null){
return;
}
System.out.println(sc.nextLine());
}
}


Which is literally a copy and paste of your code except for the input (which I also literally copied from your post) and Scanner declaration. It prints out




hello

world




with no null. Whatever your issue is it is elsewhere.



Edit : As @Pshemo mentions you are also comparing your string wrong. Use .equals()
