Readin a text file and cuttin the text

[kristian]

this following code cuts the string test
"This is not easy " into equal length peaceslike this:
this
is n
ot e
asy
How do i have to change the code so that I can read the text from a file (for example "help.txt"),file can have several text lines and the result should be the same as above

String test=" This is not easy"; test=test.trim();
int spacefound=0;
String tmp="";
int l=test.indexOf(" ");
for(int i=0;i<test.length();i++){
char c=test.charAt(i);
if(c!=' ') tmp+=""+c;
if(c==' ' && (spacefound<1) && !(tmp.equals(""))){
tmp+=""+c;
spacefound++; }
if(tmp.length()==l){
System.out.println(tmp);
tmp="";
spacefound=0;
} }
if(tmp.length()<l){
for(int i=0;i<=(l-tmp.length());i++) tmp+=""+' '; }
System.out.println(tmp);

File fInputFile = new File("a.txt");
FileReader fis = new FileReader(fInputFile);
BufferedReader bis = new BufferedReader(fis);
String test;
while ((test = bis.readLine()) != null)
{
   do your stuff here
}

This will read one line at a time. You can do a while loop to get all the line. when the return value is null, it is end of file.
