Reading in Text File for Java?

I started using Scanner over BufferedReader to read files. First a note about the text file:

the command.txt has to reside at the same location of your MainProgram.class file.

From there you do read line per line and utilize methods of String (see the java API for String)

while( src.hasNext() ) {

input = src.nextLine();

if( input.toLowerCase().startsWith("start")

// here, I would branch to a method( input )

private int method( String in ) {

int lValue = in.indexOf( " " ) + 1;

int rValue = inindexOf( " ", lValue);

int value = Integer.parseInt( in.substring( lValue, rValue );

return value;

}

import java.io.*;

class FileRead

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

try{

// Open the file that is the first

// command line parameter

FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("textfile.txt");

// Get the object of DataInputStream

DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));

String strLine;

//Read File Line By Line

while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {

// Print the content on the console

System.out.println (strLine);

}

//Close the input stream

in.close();

}catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any

System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());

}

}

}

"I notice that the first answer reads in line by line. How can I make it so that it reads in command by command. For example, rather than reading in just "START 2"

How can I read in "START" then "2" separately?"
