Java Programming

Hi all, I am learning Java right now and ran into a problem. I need to use the Scanner class to accurately count the number of chars in a file including the line feed chars 10&13.

This what I have and it currently reports a 201 byte file as having 194 chars:

File file = new File(plainFile);
Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file);

numberOfChars = 0;
String line;

//count characters in file
while (inputFile.hasNextLine())
{
line = inputFile.nextLine();
numberOfChars += line.length();
}


I know there are other ways using BufferedReader, etc but I have to use Scanner class to do this.

Thanks in advance!
