Using a FileReader
The
FileReader
class creates a
Reader
that you can use to read the contents of a file. A
commonly used constructor is shown here:
FileReader(String
fileName
) throws FileNotFoundException
Here,
fileName
is the full path name of a file. It throws a
FileNotFoundException
if the
file does not exist.
FileReader
is derived from
InputStreamReader
and
Reader
. Thus, it
has access to the methods defined by these classes.
