If you haven't already done so then review the Sun tutorials at


as well as the java docs on java.io classes.

There are also many other tutorials on the internet dealing with just about every aspect of java.

There are a number of ways to do what you want to do but one way is to use a BufferedReader wrapped around a FileReader. Read a character at a time and append to a StringBuffer. Finally if you want it as a string then use the StringBuffer.toString() method.
