I am not really sure why This program is not running properly? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Here is an example of concatenating text files.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Concat {

        static public void main(String arg[]) throws java.io.IOException {
                PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("c:/concat.txt"));
                Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
                System.out.print("How many files you want to concat?:");
                int no=input.nextInt();
                String f[]=new String[no];
                System.out.println("Enter filenames: ");
                for(int i=0;i<f.length;i++){
                    String filename=input.next();
                    int mid= filename.lastIndexOf(".");
                    String ext=filename.substring(mid+1,filename.length());
                    if(ext.equals("txt")){
                    f[i]=filename;
                      System.out.println("Processing " + f[i] + "... ");
                        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f[i]));
                        String line = br.readLine();
                        while (line != null) {
                                pw.println(line);
                                line = br.readLine();
                        }
                        br.close();
                    }
                    else{
                        System.out.print("Only txt files should be concated.Re-enter file name: ");
                    }
                }
                 pw.close();
                System.out.println("All files have been concatenated into concat.txt");
        }
}
