Reading a file

This worked for me.

Mike.

import java.io.*;

public void readFile(){

String line;

URL url=null;

try {

url = new URL (getCodeBase(), "file.txt" );

}

catch (MalformedURLException e ) {

System.out.println("Malformed URL ");

stop();

}

try {

InputStream is=url.openStream();

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));

while ((line = br.readLine()) != null){

// do whatever with line.

}

is.close();

}

catch (IOException e ) {}

}

you can use BufferedReader and FileReader beacuse it is the easy way to handle file....

class fileRead{

public static void main(String args[]){

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("inputFile.txt"));

String str;

while((str = br.readLine())!=-1){

System.out.println("Filecontent:"+str);

}

}

}
