What you can do is scan the entire text using Scanner and go through the text line by line. Of course you should import the following:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public static void readText throws FileNotFoundException {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("samplefilename.txt"));
while(scan.hasNextLine()){
String line = scan.nextLine();
//Here you can manipulate the string the way you want
}
}
Scanner basically scans all the text. The while loop is used to traverse through the entire text.
The .hasNextLine() function is a boolean that returns true if there are still more lines in the text. The .nextLine() function gives you an entire line as a String which you can then use the way you want. Try System.out.println(line) to print the text.
Side Note: .txt is the file type text.
