Answer 1

You have used FileInputStream and is a byte code reader not character reader. Try using FileReader instead

something like:

BufferedReader inputStream = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:/a.txt"));

then you can use the line oriented I/O BufferedReader to read each line. FileInputREader is a low level I/O that you should avoid. You're writing the characters to your file not the bytes, the best approach is to use character streams. for wrinting and reading unless you need to write bytes/binary data.
