In Java 8 you could easily turn your text file into a List of Strings with streams by using Files lines and collect   private List lt String gt  loadFile         URI uri   null      try           uri   ClassLoader getSystemResource  example txt   toURI          catch  URISyntaxException e            LOGGER error  Failed to load file    e             List lt String gt  list   null      try  Stream lt String gt  lines   Files lines Paths get uri              list   lines collect Collectors toList           catch  IOException e            LOGGER error  Failed to load file    e             return list

You should not use available    It gives no guarantees what so ever  From the API docs of available        Returns an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read  or skipped over  from this input stream without blocking by the next invocation of a method for this input stream    You would probably want to use something like  try       BufferedReader in   new BufferedReader new FileReader  infilename         String str      while   str   in readLine       null          process str       in close      catch  IOException e         taken from http   www exampledepot com egs java io ReadLinesFromFile html

How about using Scanner  I think using Scanner is easier       private static void readFile String fileName           try            File file   new File fileName            Scanner scanner   new Scanner file            while  scanner hasNextLine                 System out println scanner nextLine                         scanner close             catch  FileNotFoundException e             e printStackTrace                      Read more about Java IO here

Try this just a little search in Google   import java io    class FileRead       public static void main String args              try         Open the file that is the first         command line parameter     FileInputStream fstream   new FileInputStream  textfile txt           Get the object of DataInputStream     DataInputStream in   new DataInputStream fstream           BufferedReader br   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader in        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

The reason your code skipped the last line was because you put fis available    gt  0 instead of fis available    gt   0

If you want to read line-by-line  use a BufferedReader  It has a readLine   method which returns the line as a String  or null if the end of the file has been reached  So you can do something like   BufferedReader reader   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader fis    String line  while   line   reader readLine       null        Do something with line     Note that this code doesn t handle exceptions or close the stream  etc
