Problem with adding input to file ( using regex )

Problem: trying to read in the lines of the 1300 files i am looping through and parsing them with the regex i have - then saving the new lines into new files. When i try to add the lines into a Set, however, nothing is added. I'll attach a sample of one of the input files and the program as it is now, below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sample file:

 癹/?惣M?t?C|怄紆鯅嶨垝鶨蔖疢2 0 0 3A D M . j p g? R A S T E R :W o r k s p a c e=L : \ a l b e r t a \ A r c G I S \ s l i d e s \ ;R a s t e r D a t a s e t=2 0 0 3A D M . j p g ;R a s t e rD a t a s e tR a s t e rB a n d 5Zq阊獋 繭? 4L : \ a l b e r t a \ A r c G I S \ s l i d e s \\R a s t e rW o r k s p a c e=L : \ a l b e r t a \ A r c G I S \ s l i d e s \ ;R a s t e rD a t aZ嶺浶?獆 繭?

If nothing is added to the set, then you're not adding anything.

You need to debug your code and find out which of your assumptions about what's going on are wrong.

Start by adding print statements right before and after every Set.add() call. Before add(), print out the set and what you're adding to it. Right after the add, print out the Set again.

I've figured out why nothing is being added. It was a problem with the input files. Thanks for replying.

I guess memory isn't an issue with that small of a program... but that sure is alot of member variables you are creating.

Does anyone know what the little boxes are where a space should be? I can't paste them on here because it won't let me. This is what is stopping me from parsing the text in the files.And memory isn't an issue here at all.
