Reading the file using FileInputStream

---

In this tutorials we are going to see how to read file using FileInputStream.

1. Create project called JavaMisc.
2. Create package called com.javatutorialscorner.io
3. Create java class called FileReader under com.javatutorialscorner.io package.
   

FileReader.java

package com.javatutorialscorner.io;

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

public class FileReader {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  File file = new File("C:\\jtc\\javatutorialscorner.txt");
  FileInputStream fin = null;
  int templine;
  try {
   fin = new FileInputStream(file);

   while ((templine = fin.read()) != -1) {
    System.out.print((char) templine);
   }

  } catch (IOException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  } finally {
   try {
    if (fin != null) {
     fin.close();
    }
   } catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
   }
  }

 }

}

Now run the program see the following output in console.
