I was trying to make a method that read file from text and make a list of it, I have tried ReadHelpText method and want to make some improvement,
I've tried like this

private String readHelpText( ) {
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream( "kamus.txt" );
try {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer( );
int chr, i = 0;
while ((chr = is.read()) != 9) //9 = ASCII untuk tab (HT)
sb.append((char) chr);
return sb.toString( );
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return null; }

kamus.txt file contains:
icon<HT>Sebuah lambang kecil berupa gambar yang tampak pada layar komputer.<CR><LF>
ide<HT>Integrated Drive Electronics; Sebuah tipe hardware interface yang berfungsi untuk menghubungkan harddisk.<CR><LF>

If I used method that i've created above it will return:
icon

but what i want is that method is return:
icon
ide

so I mean, it read the kamus.txt file contents but if it read <HT> that methode will ignoring the next sentence and continuing read the next line, I've thinking about using array, but i still confused to implementing it..
please, please help me about this problem..

i'd be grate full, and thanks before.
