Read Text File in Java using FileReader Class

 Previously I have posted about reading text file using FileInputStream, BufferedReader and Scanner Class. This post shows how to read text files in java using FileReader class.

This is a sample text file

and this is the java code to read text files using FileReader class

1. package client;
3. import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
4. import java.io.FileReader;
5. import java.io.IOException;
7. public class ReadFileFr {
8. public ReadFileFr() {
9. super();
10. }
12. public static void main(String[] args) {
13. // Absolute path of file that you want to read
14. FileReader fr=null;
15. try {
16. fr = new FileReader("D:/sampleFile.txt");
17. } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
18. System.out.println(e);
19. }
21. int data;
22. //Iterate over file content
23. try {
24. while ((data = fr.read()) != -1)
25. System.out.print((char) data);
26. } catch (IOException e) {
27. System.out.println(e);
28. }
29. }
30. }

Execute this java code

Read Text File in Java using Scanner Class

 Previously I have posted about reading text file using FileInputStream and BufferedReader. This post shows how to read text files in java using the Scanner class.

This is a sample text file

and this is the java code to read text files using the Scanner class

1. package client;
3. import java.io.File;
4. import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
6. import java.util.Scanner;
8. public class ReadFileScn {
9. public ReadFileScn() {
10. super();
11. }
13. public static void main(String[] args) {
14. // Absolute path of file that you want to read
15. File f = new File("D:/sampleFile.txt");
16. Scanner s = null;
17. try {
18. s = new Scanner(f);
19. } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
20. }
22. //Iterate over file content
23. while (s.hasNextLine())
24. System.out.println(s.nextLine());
25. }
27. }

Read Text File in Java using BufferedReader

 Previously I have posted about reading text file using FileInputStream and this post shows how to read text files in java using BufferedReader class.

This is a sample text file

and this is the java code to read a text file using BufferedReader class

1. package client;
3. import java.io.BufferedReader;
4. import java.io.File;
5. import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
6. import java.io.FileReader;
7. import java.io.IOException;
9. public class ReadFileBfr {
10. public ReadFileBfr() {
11. super();
12. }
14. public static void main(String[] args) {
15. // Absolute path of file that you want to read
16. File f = new File("D:/sampleFile.txt");
18. BufferedReader bfr=null;
19. try {
20. bfr = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
21. } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
22. }
24. String data;
25. //Iterate over file content
26. try {
27. while ((data = bfr.readLine()) != null)
28. System.out.println(data);
29. } catch (IOException e) {
30. }
31. }
32. }
