what is the 'quickest' way to read char data from a txt file

I really don't care about spelling. As far as I know, you knew exactly what I ment, so it's just fine. Besides, not all of us have English as our native language. I would like to see you cope with Ducth....

About beeing constructive: I was, you just didn't read past the fist paragraph!

To be even a bit more constructive...

Since J2me does not have a BufferedInputStream, it will help to implement it yourself. It's much faster since you read large blocks at ones in stread of seperate chars.

something line this lets you read lines very fast:

while ( bytesread < filesize ) {

length = configfile.read( buff, 0, buff.length );

// append buffer to temp String

if ( length < buff.length ) {

byte[] buf = new byte[length];

System.arraycopy( buff, 0, buf, 0, length );

tmp.append( new String( buf ) );

} else {

tmp.append( new String( buff ) );

}

// look in tmp string for \r\n

idx1 = tmp.toString().indexOf( "\r\n" );

while ( idx1 >= 0 ) {

//if found, split into line and rest of tmp

line = tmp.toString().substring( 0, idx1 );

/// ... do with it whatever you want ... ////

tmp = new StringBuffer( tmp.toString().substring( idx1 + 2 ) );

idx1 = tmp.toString().indexOf( "\r\n" );

}

bytesread += length;

}
