Question

Below is my code that will read lines from URL and output it.
I was wondering how can I also output line numbers such as row numbers in excel.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Scanner;


public class helloworld {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        URL yahh = new URL("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AqSBI1OogE84dDJyN0tyNHJENkNyYUgyczVLX0RMY3c&single=true&gid=0&range=A2%3AA200&output=txt");
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(
                    yahh.openStream()));

        String inputLine;

        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)

            System.out.println(inputLine);

        in.close();

    }
}

Currently Output is:

11111
22222
33333
44444
55555
66666
77777
88888
99999
100000

I want it to be

1   11111
2   22222
3   33333
4   44444
5   55555
6   66666
7   77777
8   88888
9   99999
10  100000

Answer 1

declare a line number variable and increment it inside your loop on every iteration:

 int line=0;
 while((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null){
       line++;
       System.out.println(line + "\t" + inputLine); 
    }
