Answer 1

Readin file with file inputstream and append file content to string.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

public class CopyOffileInputStream {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //File file = new File("./store/robots.txt");
        File file = new File("swingloggingsscce.log");

        FileInputStream fis = null;
        String str = "";

        try {
            fis = new FileInputStream(file);
            int content;
            while ((content = fis.read()) != -1) {
                // convert to char and display it
                str += (char) content;
            }

            System.out.println("After reading file");
            System.out.println(str);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                if (fis != null)
                    fis.close();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
