File as a String object

[zku]

Hi,

I am trying to make a String object from a text file.

String text = ... the file's content.

as the file has " and \n and \ characters.

the String object is not proper created.

Any idea how?

What exactly did you try? What kind of errors were there in the String
contents?

Any idea how?

Open the file with a FileInputStream and an InputStreamReader. Read
the file into e.g. a StringBuffer. After you reach the end of the
file, create a String from the StringBuffer.
