I am trying to read a file from within a jarfile. After some research i found this:

InputStream input = getClass().getResourceAsStream("text_file.txt");

But how do I wrapp this into a reader?

I have tried with bufferedReader but it throws a NullPointerException

BufferedReader buffReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));

So - my question is how to properly wrap the inpustream object and read the stream?

what is wrong in this approach? – Braj Jul 31 '14 at 14:47
`NullPointerException` is coming from somewhere else. Share complete code. – Braj Jul 31 '14 at 14:48
check the file name and path is correct? it seems that your input is null – Thusitha Thilina Dayaratne Jul 31 '14 at 14:48
make sure file is present in the jar. – Braj Jul 31 '14 at 14:49
the class and txt file must be present at the same location(package). – Braj Jul 31 '14 at 14:52
