Going through a file and adding each line into an array

There is the code

What i'm trying to do is check messages to see if a user is swearing. I have the text file created in McServerDirectory/plugins/iWarning/badwords.txt

Code:

19:23:05 [SEVERE] Could not pass event PLAYER_CHAT to iWarning

Thats the error I get.

Figured I'd add. as you can see in the source code, it prints out the first line. It did successfully do that. Its gotta be somethign with the .contains();

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

I do not see any errors in the code. nothing possibly null. yet somehow words[counter] is returning null.

 

Unfortunately :/
