CocoaDev

I am at a loss to figure out how to read a text file into a String in Java. I am new to Java, so maybe I am just really missing something in the documentation. Also, I was wondering if anybody has step by step instructions on how to get the Java Bridge working in Cocoa (using both Objective-C and Java classes in the same project).

String readFile( String filePath ) { General/StringBuffer fileContents = new General/StringBuffer();

try {
	General/BufferedReader reader = new General/BufferedReader(
		new General/FileReader(filePath)
	);

	String line;

	while ( (line = reader.readLine()) != null ) {
		fileContents.append(line);
	}
} catch ( General/IOException ioe ) {
	// handle the exception properly in the real application
	return null;
} finally {
	reader.close();
}

return fileContents.toString(); }

I suggest looking up the documentation for General/FileReader, General/BufferedReader and look at the Java Tutorial on http://java.sun.com

The documentation for General/BufferedReader says that it does not include the line terminator in readLine(). Should I append a “\n” with each line as well?

If you need it, yes.
