I want to create string with 100000 characters long.

String ab=new String("SHBSATO6MC1UN8W3W3..........");

Above line is giving me a compilation error in terminal(can't see the error). IDE giving me a compilation error

Error:(15, 22) java: constant string too long

What is the reason. IFAIK, we can use 2^31-1 characters for String

Are you instantiating it as a literal, or are you reading a file? – Maljam Apr 10 '16 at 11:28

Note: `x = new String("text");` is much the same as `x = "text";` – Peter Lawrey Apr 10 '16 at 13:12
