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. }

Execute this java code

Output is
