Java: print contents of text file to screen

Question

I have a text file named foo.txt, and its contents are as below:

this

is

text

How would I print this exact file to the screen in Java 7?

Answer 1

Before Java 7:

 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("foo.txt"));
 String line;
 while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
   System.out.println(line);
 }

• add exception handling
• add closing the stream

Since Java 7, there is no need to close the stream, because it implements autocloseable

try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("foo.txt"))) {
   String line;
   while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
       System.out.println(line);
   }
}
