File data to JComboBox

[Ronnie]

I'm new to Java and am trying to convert a VB6 program to Java. My VB program reads the first 7 letters of each line in a text file and populates a combo box. How can I mimic this in Java?

Thanks

Here's how you read data from a text file:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null ) {
  myComboBox.addItem(line); // where myComboBox is of type JComboBox.  
}
