I have a file with 100000 line when am using System.in it takes more than 1 minute to get the input but when I use a file to read the input it doesn't take time. what is the solution to keep using System.in but with more speed?

System.in reads line by line not the file contents at a time.So it is slow.

System.in is inherently slow because it's taking the data in line by line (checking for newlines), rather than doing a large block copy from a file mapped in virtual memory.
There's no real way to speed up System.in, and this sounds like a situation where reading a file would be much more ideal.
Update: You may want to look at this question: What's the fastest way to read from System.in in Java?

Could you not change it so the string that goes to `System.in` is a path to the file, then parse it out from there? – Polynomial Nov 03 '11 at 12:15

You need to use StringTokenizer if you want to read file very fast. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/StringTokenizer.html

Try to change the stream of system.in
System.setIn(new FileInputStream(fileName));
