The program cycles through a data file showing the contents as you click the next and previous buttons. I'm trying to disable the previousButton when the vector's position is 0 and disable the nextButton when it is at 5. I put in println statements after each JButton is clicked so that I can tell where it is and where the disabling should be happening.
This is the contents of the data file:
apple
banana
cherry
melon
orange
strawberry
