ok i got your point , my problem is with the input which saved in the variable reply in my code and executed by the findInLine method but still i don`t know how to solve it , i tried everything i know but still not working mean while the following basic oracle program is working just fine while i am using the same technique

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;

public class IfScannerRandomProg {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		Scanner myScanner = new Scanner (System.in);
		Random myRandom = new Random ();
		
		int randomNum;
		
		System.out.println("What is your name?");
		
		String herName = myScanner.nextLine();
		
		System.out.println("hi " + herName +"," + " How are you doing today?");
		
		String   Answer1= myScanner.nextLine();
		
		System.out.println("Great, would you like to know your luck for today " + herName +"?" + "(Y/N)");
		
		char Answer2 = myScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0);
		
		if(Answer2 == 'Y' || Answer2 == 'y'){
			System.out.println("Umm ......");
		}
		else{
			System.out.println("Ok then ,See you tomorrow!");
		}
		randomNum = myRandom.nextInt(10) + 1;
		
		switch (randomNum){
		case 1:
			System.out.println("You will have a fancy day with everything on your mind happening");
			break;
			
		case 2:
			System.out.println("Well ,it`s not your day today,sleeping is your friend today");
			break;
			
		case 3:
			System.out.println("Many people will contact you today for something you have and they want");
		break;
		
		case 4:
			System.out.println("Your time to kill your enemies");
			break;
			
		case 5:
			System.out.println("Chill out kid, everything is coming in place , be patient");
			break;
			
		case 6:
			System.out.println("Take care of the surroundings!");
			break;
			
		case 7:
			System.out.println("you will have a lot of fun today");
			break;
			
		case 8:
			System.out.println("Your worry too much , but today all your worries will go away");
			break;
			
		case 9:
			System.out.println("Live your day , it might be your last day");
			break;
			
		case 10:
			System.out.println("people will laugh at you always , so do your thing and don`t look at them");
		}
		
		
		
		

	}
