I would like to be able to display the content of a .txt file in my output terminal (Using the System.out.print() command).

I have already tried the fileInputStream /outputStream but I either didn't used it correctly or it didn't work out as I thought it would.

The goal would be to display the content in my file with the same line feed, etc...

  • InputStream is great for reading bytes, but if you want to read text, a Reader is a better choice. Either wrap your stream in a `InputStreamReader` or use a `FileReader` – killjoy Jul 08 '19 at 14:10
  • Thank you for all of your answers, I'm sorry for not adding my code to my question, I am not entirely familiar with this platform yet :). – Mr.Viatorem Jul 08 '19 at 14:26

Just use the scanner (or reader) to read each line of the text file and then print it out as so. 

    String path = "testFilePath.txt";
    try (Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File(path))) {
        while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
            System.out.println(scanner.nextLine());
        }
    } catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
