Please help with this Simple compilation error.

[MohanaAngamuthu]

When i compile the below program i get the error as:
filereading.java:21: warning: [deprecation] readLine() in java.io.DataInputStream has been deprecated
while( (record=dis.readLine()) != null )
^
How to get rid of this?


Program :

import java.io.*;

class filereading
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
FileReadTest f = new FileReadTest();
f.readMyFile();
}
void readMyFile()
{
DataInputStream dis = null;
String record=null;
int recCount = 0;
try
{
File f = new File("name.txt");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
while( (record=dis.readLine()) != null )
{
recCount++;
System.out.println ("the names are:" +record);
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
System.out.println("Unable to copy: "+e.getMessage());
}
}
}

Do not use Streams to read files. Those methods are deprecated. You should use Scanner or

 
FileReader fr = new FileReader("fileName.txt");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(fr); 
 

to read files
