  FileReader fr=new FileReader(“abc.txt”);  

  int i;  

  while((i=fr.read())!=-1)  

  System.out.println(“FileReader is:”+(char)i);  

  fr.close();  

 }  

}

run:

FileReader is:H

FileReader is:e

FileReader is:l

FileReader is:l

FileReader is:o

FileReader is: 

FileReader is:p

FileReader is:r
