HI,
create a BufferedReader and pass in the FileInputStream like this
BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader( fis ) ;
The BufferedReader.read() method reads in data from the InputStream and converts it to a char. It also has a readLine() methos and skip(long chars) which can be handy.
Hope that helps,
