Class IFSFileReader

    • java.io.Reader
      • com.ibm.as400.access.IFSFileReader
  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.Readable

    public class IFSFileReader
extends java.io.Reader
    Convenience class for reading character files in the integrated file system. The behavior of this class is comparable to java.io.FileReader.
    IFSFileReader is meant for reading streams of characters. For reading streams of raw bytes, use IFSFileInputStream. If an InputStream is required, use IFSTextFileInputStream.

    The following example illustrates the use of IFSFileReader: 

    import java.io.BufferedReader;
// Work with /File1 on the system eniac.
AS400 system = new AS400("eniac");
IFSFile file = new IFSFile(system, "/File1");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new IFSFileReader(file));
// Read the first line of the file, converting characters.
String line1 = reader.readLine();
// Display the String that was read.
System.out.println(line1);
// Close the reader.
reader.close();
