JAVA read file problem

[VAX]

Could anyone can tell me how to read a txt file line by line with DataInputStream?

I also want to check it is EOF or not.

Thank you.

You don't use a DataInputStream to read a text file.

Use a FileReader, and wrap it in a BufferedReader:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileRead("YourFile.txt");

and then use the readLine() method, which returns null when it reaches EOF:

String line = null;
while ((null = br.readLine()) != null) {
// process "line" here
}
