Java Programming

Hi all,

I was going over some sample programs and i ran into a problem with the following program.
The problem is that it keeps counting the next character and incrementing instead of ending when the last line in the text file has no linebreak.
I guess it doesnt recognize that it has reached the EOF. Is there any way to fix this?

   
 public static void main(String[] args)
                   throws FileNotFoundException, IOException
   {
        int lineCount = 0;
        int[] letterCount = new int[26];

        IntClass next = new IntClass();

        FileReader inputStream = new FileReader("test.txt");

        PrintWriter outfile = new PrintWriter("textCh.out");

        next.setNum(inputStream.read());

        while (next.getNum() != -1)
        {
            copyText(inputStream, outfile, next, letterCount);
            lineCount++;
            next.setNum(inputStream.read());
        }  //end while loop

        writeTotal(outfile, lineCount, letterCount);

        outfile.close();
    }


 static void copyText(FileReader infile, PrintWriter outfile,
                         IntClass next, int[] letterC)
                         throws IOException
    {


        while (next.getNum() != (int)'\n')
        {
            outfile.print((char)(next.getNum()));
            chCount((char)(next.getNum()), letterC);
            next.setNum(infile.read());
        }

        outfile.println();
    }

Take care
