public class ReadFile {
  public static void main(String args[]){
	 String fileName = "D:/Test files/file 3.txt";
	 BufferedReader br = null;
     String strLine = "";
     try {
         br = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(fileName));
         while( (strLine = br.readLine()) != null){
             System.out.println(strLine);
         }
     } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
     }
