Dear Group,

I am a new learner in Java. And I wanted to open a file and read its
content.
The standard tutorials give long code. They use try,catch etc. I
wanted something simple and started to experiment something as
follows. But it was giving some error.

import java.io.*;
public class FileOutput {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("C:\\FileIO\
\javadict.txt");
        DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
        String strLine;
        System.out.println(br.strLine);
      }

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

If any one in the room can kindly suggest.

Regards,
Subhabrata.
NB: Thank you all for your earlier solution though I worked my own
with .equals only.

import java.io.*;

public class ReadIt {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
         FileReader fr = new FileReader("ReadIt.java");
         BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);

         String str;
         while ((str = br.readLine()) != null)
             System.out.println(str);

         br.close();
     }
}

You will need to catch exceptions in real code but this will work unless
an exception is thrown.
