Question

I am using Java BufferedReader and reading file line by line using bufferedReader.readline().

Is there a way by which I can tell that the line has this much text and Don’t read it beyond that.

In other words is there already existing something which sees the line content size and then start reading. Then it would be reading upto the size which is provided?

Answer 1

Is this what you mean?

public int read(char[] buf,
int offset,
int count)

where:

buf – The array into which the chars read should be stored, offset –
The offset into the array to start storing chars, count – The requested
number of chars to read
