    <p>I am trying to parse the Linux <code>/etc/passwd</code> file in Java. I'm currently reading each line through the <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/util/Scanner.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>java.util.Scanner</code></a> class and then using <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split-java.lang.String-" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>java.lang.String.split(String)</code></a> to delimit each line.</p> <p>The problem is that the line:</p> <pre><code>list:x:38:38:Mailing List Manager:/var/list:/bin/sh" </code></pre> <p>is treated by the scanner as 3 different lines: </p> <ol> <li><code>list:x:38:38:Mailing</code></li> <li><code>List</code> </li> <li><code>Manager...</code></li> </ol> <p>When I type this out into a new file that I didn't get from Linux, <code>Scanner</code> parses it properly.</p> <p>Is there something I'm not understanding about new lines in Linux?</p> <p>Obviously a work around is to parse it without using scanner, but it wouldn't be elegant. Does anyone know of an elegant way to do it?</p> <p>Is there a way to convert the file into one that would work with <code>Scanner</code>?</p> <hr> <p>Not even two days ago: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/419291/historical-reason-behind-different-line-ending-at-different-platforms">Historical reason behind different line ending at different platforms</a></p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Note from the original author:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>"I figured out I have a different error that is causing the problem. Disregard question"</em></p> </blockquote>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
