Filreader with a string

Question

This is my code:

public static void NameLaden() throws IOException {
    File f = new File(path1);
    FileReader g;
    g = new FileReader(f);
    Name = g.read();                
    g.close();      
}

The answer is probably really simple. The only problem I have is that he wants a int instead of a string for Name. But Name has to be a string since its a word.

Answer 1

Try it like this. Did not test it, but it should work, if name is on the first line of the file.

public static void NameLaden() throws IOException {
    File f = new File(path1);

    FileReader g = new FileReader(f);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(g);
    String Name = br.readLine();
    br.close();   
    g.close();      
}
