close and reopen the bufferedreader

I am reading a large file using bufferedreaderI am closing the file and then how do i reopen the file??

bufferedReader.close();

THen how do i reopen the file???

what is the method i need to use for reopening the file??

You need to create a new FileReader or FileInputStream, and wrap it as usual.

thanks Rob. But is there anyway I can read the entire file into the memory and use that??

What should be the approach for reading a large file my file is 100 MB text file

The following questions occur:

1. How much of the file do you need in memory at any one time to do whatever it is you are trying to do?
2. Is the file in plain ASCII or what?
3. Why are you closing the reader at all?

You can add the file to a List<String>, but careful in case you run out of memory. You can analyse the file and put its contents into a database, and use JDBC calls to retrieve what you need.

There are bound to be lots of other ways to do that.
