Reason: Added [CODE] tags

That exception is thrown when no more tokens are available for the scanner.

Hi,
The scanner fails to find any more tabs before reading END. That's why it fails. It means all your data is not delimited by tabs.
Check the documentation for the Scanner class.
Regards,
Alex.

Why not write a little debug message that prints out what the Scanner has just read?
Something like this will do: -
private String next(Scanner scan) {
-
String result= scan.next();
-
System.out.println("read: '"+result+"'");
-
return result;
-
}
-
Use this method in your main() instead of input.next() directly and see what happens.
kind regards,
Jos

Now, I'm giving you an official warning: Use the CODE tags! That means, put the begin tag [CODE] before and the end tag [/code] after your code. Failing to do so makes your code much harder to read and therefore we insist, that they are used here.
