How do I create a Java string from the contents of a file?
To create a Java string from the contents of a file, you can use the following code:
Path path = Paths.get("/path/to/file.txt");
String content = new String(Files.readAllBytes(path));
This will read the contents of the file as a byte array and then create a new string from the array using the default character encoding.
Alternatively, you can use the readAllLines
method of the Files
class to read the file as a list of strings and then use the join
method to join the strings into a single string:
List<String> lines = Files.readAllLines(path);
String content = String.join("\n", lines);
This will read the file as a list of strings, with each line of the file becoming a separate string in the list. The join
method will then join the strings in the list into a single string, with a newline character ("\n"
) inserted between each string.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
