Couple of things.
1) The code which you have sent us would throw a NullPointerException as the
string variable inputLine is null when you use it in the if statement.
2) Please do try to understand the difference between the == operator and
the equals(String s) method, it shall relieve you of a lot of problems later
on as well in your programming career :-).Just a friendly suggestion.
3) Another easier way could be to use the startsWith(String s) method of the
java.lang.String class.
Have a nice day.

Sachin S. Khanna.
