Your code won't do the right thing in C and won't compile in Java, but 
it's the right idea. :)  I think this is what you meant:
    while((char) ch != '\n' && (char) ch != '\r' && ch > -1)
In C, the ('\n' || '\r') will evaluate to 1, so you'd get while(ch != 1 
&& ch > -1), which ain't quite what you're expecting. :)
