import java.io.IOException; 

public class ExampleBufferedReader {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

 BufferedReader br = null; 

 try {
 String sCurrentLine; 
 br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("test.txt")); 

 while ((sCurrentLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
 System.out.println(sCurrentLine); 
 }

 } catch (IOException e) {
 e.printStackTrace(); 
 } finally {
 try {
 if (br != null)br.close(); 
 } catch (IOException ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace(); 
 }
 }
