I have not worked with java in a while, and all i'm trying to do is read these numbers from a file into a 2D array. This is my code

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. import java.io.*;
  2. import java.util.*;
  3.  
  4. public class CWXGUImain
  5. {
  6.   public static void main (String arg[]) throws IOException
  7.   {
  8.     Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File("GUIcomm.txt"));
  9.      boolean endofgame = false;
  10.      int[][] board = new int[256][2];
  11.  
  12.      while(!endofgame)
  13.      {
  14.        if(scanner.next() == "Board")
  15.         {
  16.           System.out.println("Board found, sending to baord array");
  17.           for(int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
  18.           {
  19.             board[i][0] = scanner.nextInt();
  20.             board[i][1] = scanner.nextInt();
  21.           }
  22.         }
  23.      }
  24.   }
  25. }
  26.  
And this is my GUIcomm.txt

1.) When comparing strings, do not use ==. Use the .equals method instead. e.g
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. scanner.next().equals("Board")
2.)What runtime errors are you getting?
