How read Text File item as String?

[denniskhor]

FileReader readKGN = new FileReader("KGNLibrary.txt");

                int KGNLib = readKGN.read(); 

                readKGN.close();

i dunwan read it as int.. because i wan use it on IF, so i need it to compare wat i input string item into text area with text file inside string item.

if (POS[i].equals(KGNLib))
            {
                jTextArea2.append((POS[i] + "/KK" + " | "));

Read the API docs for FileReader and see if some other method there is better.

Or wrap it in a BufferedReader, then read the API docs for BufferedReader and see if there is yeat another method there that is even better for your purposes.

You can use commons io (http://commons.apache.org/io/api-release/index.html), like this:

IOUtils.toString(inputStream)

Java is not a superior language itself, but it has a lot of great external libraries.
