Reading and displaying data from a .txt file

Question

How do you read and display data from .txt files?

Answer 1

In general:

• Create a FileInputStream for the file.
• Create an InputStreamReader wrapping the input stream, specifying the correct encoding
• Optionally create a BufferedReader around the InputStreamReader, which makes it simpler to read a line at a time.
• Read until there's no more data (e.g. readLine returns null)
• Display data as you go or buffer it up for later.

If you need more help than that, please be more specific in your question.
