thats probably true (depends on what lies under the bufferedreader/stream, you probably mean a file?) But its generally extremely bad taste to rely on gc when you can fix it by adding a three-liner.
that would also expain why your open files become closed after System.gc() is called. However, you dont know when the gc will collect something, so better add the close call. regards leon On 9/25/06, Mladen Adamovic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
