Hi,

The FileReader class is packed in the java.io package of Java. This class can be used to read data one character at a time from a text file. So, we are going to use the FileReader class for our purpose. It is noted that this class extends the InputSreamReader class. Here is the complete code:

package net.roseindia;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.Scanner;

/**
 * In this example we are going to 
 * File Reader class to read a text file
 * Web: https://www.roseindia.net
 * 
 */

public class ReadTextFileUsingFileReader {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String fileName = "data.txt";
        try {
            FileReader fr=new FileReader(fileName);
            int i;
            // Read one character at a time and print
            // On the console
            while((i=fr.read())!=-1){
                System.out.print((char) i);
            }

            fr.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}

Thanks
