A much shorter alternative is below   Path filePath   Paths get  file txt    Scanner scanner   new Scanner filePath   List lt Integer gt  integers   new ArrayList lt  gt     while  scanner hasNext          if  scanner hasNextInt              integers add scanner nextInt           else           scanner next              A Scanner breaks its input into tokens using a delimiter pattern  which by default matches whitespace  Although default delimiter is whitespace  it successfully found all integers separated by new line character

Good news in Java 8 we can do it in one line   List lt Integer gt  ints   Files lines Paths get fileName                              map Integer  parseInt                             collect Collectors toList

try       BufferedReader br   new BufferedReader new FileReader  textfile txt         String strLine        Read File Line By Line     while   strLine   br readLine       null               Print the content on the console       System out println  strLine               Close the input stream     in close         catch  Exception e    Catch exception if any       System err println  Error      e getMessage          finally       in close            This will read line by line   If your no  are saperated by newline char  then in place of    System out println  strLine     You can have   try  int i   Integer parseInt strLine    catch NumberFormatException npe     do something       If it is separated by spaces then    try      String noInStringArr     strLine split         then you can parse it to Int as above      catch NumberFormatException npe         do something
