Help with using java "Do While"

[prevent]

Need a little help..Thank you...Thank you... Thank you

I completed my first java programming class six months ago. Now I been assign a project using java. So far it's comming along pretty good. I'm trying to use the "Do While" to accomplish the following in JDeveloper.

Example of the xml file:

<looptag>
looptag
<fielda>
some data
<fieldb>
some data
<fieldc>
some data
<fieldb>
some data
<fieldc>
some data
<fielda>
some data
<fieldc>
some data
<fieldc>
some data
<fielda>
some data
<fieldb>
some data
<fieldc>
some data
<fieldc>
some data
<endloop>
endloop

There are repetitive tags for field a, b, and c. Not necessary the same count for each field. I would like to write out the fields in the same order looping through the file order.



Is this the right concept.?

String looptag = "looptag";
String t = "";
String s = "";

If looptag.indexOf ("looptag") // starting point for the loop
Do
{
if fielda > 0 write to s.
else
if fieldb > 0 write to s.
else
if fieldc > 0 wite to s
}
While fielde.indexOf not equal "endloop" // end of the loop

That *text* is not valid or even well-formed XML.
If it were, or is meant to be, I would use an XML parser, which would be a lot easier.
