You could use readLine() and append all the Strings.

Code removed because the OP is more interested in arguing than in solving his problem.

yea but i dont want to do that coz i have the reading in file in my main class. and a separte function that looks for two specific words in that whole string and spits out the content between them. with readline its only line by line.. my main looks like this:
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("c:/Program Files/searchResult.xml");
String line;
line = fstream.toString();
System.out.println (line);
fstream.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.err.println("error");
}
}...
So right now all this does is reads in the file..but the output it gives me is :
java.io.FileInputStream@108786b
any ideas?

I think the official way is:new Scanner(file).useDelimiter("\\z").next()

WAIT A MINUTE... are you that failed intern that tortured everyone with your "PDF in a file" problem?DONT CROSS POST! http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=753742&tstart=50

no buddy. This is a different one. and besides im in a different forum, coz i realized i should have posted here(new to java) in the first place. ur the one whos corssposting your reaction. if you have any solutions then good, if not then i dont care much for your anger

Monkey, if this is your new scheme for locating %PDF and %%EOF in a file - we already helped you with this. Dont read the entire file as a string. I dont understand what is so difficult.
TuringPesta at 2007-7-14 17:58:20 >
umm no..just the one, the content that is between the two marker words

I'm going to *mildly* point out that posting in a different forum is what "crossposting" means. Just a thought.
cdelmioa at 2007-7-14 17:58:20 >
im sorry i didnt get that solution turningpest..too advanced for me. which is why im here..
tripper1984a at 2007-7-14 17:58:20 >
First: spell out words. cuz, b4, ur...
Second: "no buddy. This is a different one." Your saying in THIS thread that you are looking for 2 markers in a text file and you want the stuff in between. This is almost EXACTLY your problem from yesterday.
The reason people dont like crossposting isnt because we are mean or "angry" people... its b.c. people worked hard to help you yesterday and its not fair to other people today to have to repeat that whole ordeal. Not to mention you never awarded Dukes to the people that did assist you.

i also mentioned,, that i realized I had to go "New in java" forum ok?the other one whatever its called is for advaned programmers..i dont wana hear ur naggin awrite...if u wana offer me some solution good..if not mind ur own buisness..

Im just explaining the etiquette of the forums to you.
No one is getting paid to help you - so you should at least give
them your respect. Crossposting is considered inconsiderate.
And using abbreviations like "ur, cuz, b4..." just bother people and make
you look dumb.

It might help if you actually read what has been written! Up to a point I don't mind being ignored but you seem to be turning it into an art form.

Sorry sabre.. i basically need to have one part of the file which is between the two marker words.(replying to your earlier post)

In response to a very similar problem, I posted a KMP implementation a week or so ago that will allow you to do this with little or no effort.

Thanks sabre. Problem is i dont have access to your posts which are atleast two days old. So if its not much trouble, maybe you can look up ur post history, and paste it here.Thanks

Tripper, Sabre went out of his way to find that KMP link for you in another thread. You should appreciate it and give him some Duke dollars.

It's better to be a turning pest than to be a tripper.

the Duke dollars are a symbolic sign of appreciation.

If you were less of a tool I probably wouldve written out that pseudo-code from your last post. I get paid a lot of $ to write code but none to help the ungrateful, lol.

Excellent choice, sir! I see we have a connaisseur in our establishment.
May I recommend the bottle from 1974?
