It is tossing the line terminators, but it is still indexing the lines in the array – it doesn’t “skip” them or “toss” them completely.
Given a five line text file, foo.txt:
foo
bar
baz
This code:
String[] strs = loadStrings("foo.txt");
for(int i=0; i<strs.length; i++){
println(i, strs[i]);
}
outputs:
0 foo
1
2 bar
3
4 baz
