 Code like this:

if (c == '\n')
     fin = true;
is not cross-platform. On Unix the line terminator is "\n", on Windows, it
is frequently "\r\n", on the Mac it is "\r".

The call System.getProperty("line.separator") will return a string
containing the platform-specific line separator character(s), and you then
need to compare it according to how your data is formatted (e.g. compare 2
characters or one).

Good luck
Patrick
