I have to read in a paragraph of text from a text file like the one shown
below only the program has to stop reading on the blank line.

================================
blah blah blah
hello hello

start of new paragraph
================================

this is what I have tried:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                                       new FileReader("file.txt"));
String temp;

while((temp = in.readLine()) != "\n")   /* I have also tried ...!= "" */
{
   ......

could someone please tell me what to compare the String to, or where I am
going wrong. any help appreciated.

Greg
