Looks like your file next   line in the while loop is throwing the NoSuchElementException since the scanner reached the end of file  Read the next   java API here  Also you should not call next   in the loop and also in the while condition  In the while condition you should check if next token is available and inside the while loop check if its equal to treasure

I Know this question was aked 3 years ago  but I just had the same problem  and what solved it was instead of putting    while  i hasNext             code goes here      I did one iteration at the start  and then checked for condition using    do         code goes here   while  i hasNext       I hope this will help some people at some stage

I had run into the same issue while I was dealing with large dataset  One thing I ve noticed was the NoSuchElementException is thrown when the Scanner reaches the endOfFile  where it is not going to affect our data    Here  I ve placed my code in try block and catch block handles the exception  You can also leave it empty  if you don t want to perform any task    For the above question  because you are using file next   both in the condition and in the while loop you can handle the exception as   while  file next   equals treasure        try          file next      stack trace error here         catch NoSuchElementException e           This worked perfectly for me  if there are any corner cases for my approach  do let me know through comments

It looks like you are calling next even if the scanner no longer has a next element to provide    throwing the exception   while  file next   equals treasure            file next                Should be something like  boolean foundTreasure   false   while file hasNext          if file next   equals treasure              foundTreasure   true            break     found treasure  if you need to use it  assign to variable beforehand                 out here  either we never found treasure at all  or the last element we looked as was treasure    act accordingly

Another situation which issues the same problem  map entrySet   iterator   next   If there is no element in the Map object  then the above code will return NoSuchElementException  Make sure to call hasNext   first
