Input data from a txt file?

[Huang Qingyan]

Dear experts,
May I know how to read data from a text file(abc.txt) and print it inside a TextBox on a MIDlet?
I have try DataOInputStream and FileInputStream and there is always error.
Can you guys please kindly teach me how to do it?
Thanks alot, Franco

Here is a simple block of code to read a file
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("help.txt");
try
{
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
int chr, i = 0;
// Read until the end of the stream
while ((chr = is.read()) != -1)
sb.append((char) chr);
return sb.toString();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error");
}
In order for this to work, the file ("help.txt") will need to be packaged with the MIDlet in the JAR file.
