Reading .txt files

**cvcs1** · 01-20-2010, 07:46 AM

Hi I am designing an English Spanish Dictionary using Java. I need to be able to read a .txt file and be able to have access to words in it. How can I scan the file? Where do I put it and is it possible to read to separate strings on one line in a .txt file?

Please reply thoroughly for I am very rusty in Java.

Read the javadocs for the FileReader and BufferedReader classes and try some code.
You can split strings using the String.split method.
