Reading from .txt

Hello, since i started to learn java, i had a question which was "how to read from .txt file". I looked over a lot of tutorials, but i learned to to write in a txt file... Now i'm having a lot of troubles with this thing. I know it's very hard and yes, i don't want dirrectly the code. Just some hints, or some help when i'm getting errors. Thanks for your time

I made a bit, it's like

PHP:

    public void readFromCmds(){
        Path file = "test.txt";
        try (InputStream in = Files.newInputStream(file);
            BufferedReader reader =
              new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in))) {
            String line = null;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(line);
            }
        } catch (IOException x) {
            System.err.println(x);
        }
    }

but i'm getting an error from

PHP:

        Path file = "test.txt";


What is it telling me

Code:

Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Path

 

You cannot convert from String to Path, try doing:

Code:

String file = "test.txt"

 

You need to create Path object. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/pathOps.html

The thing above may work as well. Depends on what does newInputStream accept as argument.

 

Ok i did it like

PHP:

    public void readFromCmds(){
        Path file = Paths.get("test.txt");
        try (InputStream in = Files.newInputStream(file);
            BufferedReader reader =
              new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in))) {
            String line = null;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(line);
            }
        } catch (IOException x) {
            System.err.println(x);
        }
    }
