Rarely in my career have I written significant amounts of Java, so when I do use it I’m always learning new things. I thought this unique way to use Scanner to read a text file into a string was great:
|
1 2 |
import java.util.Scanner; String contents = new Scanner(new File(fileName)).useDelimiter("\\Z").next(); |
Nice thing about this method is that it only uses java.util.* and works in Java 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 (possibly earlier, I haven’t verified).
