Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
<<no stack trace available>>

... my program is just parsing a text file of about 200 lines. It looks for the following character &quot;.

Anybody had this problem before?

Use StringBuffer instead of String (which is what I suspect is your problem). String Objects are immutable (which is fancy talk for they can't change) so anytime you manipulate a String in Java a new Object is created in memory and the reference is updated.

In most of these types of cases the use of StringBuffer will completely solve the memory problem. Without anymore information (ie code) that is the best suggestion I can make. Wushutwist

Well the problem is that I am using StringBuffer().insert
and String doesnot have this method.
