title: How do I tell if an empty line has been read in with a BufferedReader?
body: <p>I'm reading in a text file formated like</p>
  
  <pre><code>word
  definiton
  
  word
  definition
  definition
  
  word
  definition
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I need to keep try of whether I'm in a definition or not based on when I reach those emtpy lines. Thing is, <code>BufferedReader</code> discards <code>\n</code> characters, and somehow comparing that empty line to <code>String ""</code> is not registering like I thought it would. How can I go about doing this.</p>
