Question

I guess this will sound crazy, but I am reading from a file, and it seems like it skips the first line of the file.

What is going on?

Here is the source:

    private void loadFile(String fileNPath)
    {
        StringBuilder currentFileContents = new StringBuilder();
        CharBuffer contentsBuffer = CharBuffer.allocate(65536);

        int status=0;
        try
        {
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileNPath));

            while(status!=-1)
            {
                status=in.read(contentsBuffer);
                currentFileContents.append(contentsBuffer);
                contentsBuffer.clear();
            }

            System.out.println(currentFileContents.toString());
        }
        catch(FileNotFoundException n)
        {
            //Should be imposible
        }
        catch(IOException n)
        {
            n.printStackTrace(System.out);
        }

    }

It must be something I am over looking.

I copied and pasted the exact source, so I hope this happens for you also.

Thanks,

I would use FileUtils.readFileToString(file) which does this in one line.

However, when I run your code on a text file I see every line. I suspect the problem is not with your code.
