Yes ..
it has to be simply

Scanner filescan = new Scanner(new File("inputdata.txt"));
FYI :

Scanner is from - java.util.Scanner

A simple text scanner which can parse primitive types and strings using regular expressions.

A Scanner breaks its input into tokens using a delimiter pattern, which by default matches whitespace. The resulting tokens may then be converted into values of different types using the various next methods.

For example, this code allows a user to read a number from System.in:

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int i = sc.nextInt();
