public class NewFile {
/**

*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
File f = new File("file.txt");
BufferedReader br = null;
try{
br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"));
String line;
while((line = br.readLine()) != null){
if(sb.length() > 0){
sb.append("\n");
}
sb.append(line);
}
}
catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
try{
if(br != null){
br.close();
}
}
catch(IOException ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
String contents = sb.toString();
System.out.println(contents);
}
}
and here is the printout, the error
