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

Output is
