finding text in formatted JTextPane by using scanner

I

Ironsienna

Hello I'm trying to create a program, which reads text from a text
file, by using a scanner, finds definitions for particular phrases,
depending on a rule list and stores the data in a list, by using
objects. For example, there is a rule list with the rules : is
/sentence, means /sentence, is referred to /sentence. If the user
insert the term Hypertension, then there will be a search on the
textfile by using the scanner, find the sentences that contain the
expressions from the rulelist and store them in objects ( Hypertension
is referred to blah blah blah). Each time I create an object, I store
to it the index where the sentence starts and where the sentence ends..


Now the hard part. I display the data in a jlist. They are of the form:
sentencestart, sentenceend,sentence. I need when a user clicks on an
object of this list, a JPane window to popup with the original text
(formatted) and highlight the sentence. The problem that I have is that
while I am using scanner to retrieve the words, it doesn't count the
line return character. So each time I save the place the sentence
starts and ends, it doesn't take in consideration the line return
characters. That leads the program to highlight wrong characters in the
JTextPane.

Is there any way, when I use the scanner, each time it finds a line
break or return character to take it in consideration?

Thank you... :)
