import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class ReadTheFileUsingBufferedReader {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("Enter the File path");
		String filePath = scanner.next();

		BufferedReader br = null;

		/*
		 * Creates a new File instance by converting the given pathname string
		 * into an abstract pathname.
		 */
		File file = new File(filePath);
		String nextLine;
		try {
			/*
			 * Creates a buffering character-input stream that uses a
			 * default-sized input buffer.
			 */
			br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
			/*
			 * Reads a line of text. A line is considered to be terminated by
			 * any one of a line feed ('n'), a carriage return ('r')
			 */
			while ((nextLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
				System.out.println(nextLine);
			}

		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} finally {
			try {
				br.close();
			} catch (IOException e) {
