此外，如果您的文件恰好位于jar中，您也可以使用此选项：

public String fromFileInJar(String path) {
    try ( Scanner scanner 
            = new Scanner(getClass().getResourceAsStream(path))) {
        return scanner.useDelimiter("\\A").next();
    }
}

例如，如果您的jar是

my.jar/com/some/thing/a.txt

然后你想这样调用它：

String myTxt = fromFileInJar("/com/com/thing/a.txt");

public static String slurp (final File file)
throws IOException {
    StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();

    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));

    try {
        char[] buf = new char[1024];

        int r = 0;

        while ((r = reader.read(buf)) != -1) {
            result.append(buf, 0, r);
        }
    }
    finally {
        reader.close();
    }

    return result.toString();
}

如果您正在寻找不涉及第三方库（例如Commons I/O）的替代方案，可以使用Scanner类：

private String readFile(String pathname) throws IOException {

    File file = new File(pathname);
    StringBuilder fileContents = new StringBuilder((int)file.length());        

    try (Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file)) {
        while(scanner.hasNextLine()) {
            fileContents.append(scanner.nextLine() + System.lineSeparator());
        }
        return fileContents.toString();
    }
}

用户java.nio.Files读取文件的所有行。

public String readFile() throws IOException {
        File fileToRead = new File("file path");
        List<String> fileLines = Files.readAllLines(fileToRead.toPath());
        return StringUtils.join(fileLines, StringUtils.EMPTY);
}

在java8中，有一个新类

java.util.stream.stream流

流表示一系列元素，并支持对这些元素执行计算的不同类型的操作

这里有一个例子：

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public Class ReadFile{
  public  static String readFile(String filePath) {
 StringBuilder  stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
    String ls = System.getProperty("line.separator");
        try {

            try (Stream<String> lines = Files.lines(Paths.get(filePath), StandardCharsets.UTF_8)) {
                for (String line : (Iterable<String>) lines::iterator) {


                      stringBuilder.append(line);
                      stringBuilder.append(ls);


                }
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

      return stringBuilder.toString(); 


}

}

这一个使用RandomAccessFile.readFully方法，它似乎可以从JDK 1.0中获得！

public static String readFileContent(String filename, Charset charset) throws IOException {
    RandomAccessFile raf = null;
    try {
        raf = new RandomAccessFile(filename, "r");
        byte[] buffer = new byte[(int)raf.length()];
        raf.readFully(buffer);
        return new String(buffer, charset);
    } finally {
        closeStream(raf);
    }
} 


private static void closeStream(Closeable c) {
    if (c != null) {
        try {
            c.close();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            // do nothing
        }
    }
}
