The another program reads the characters from a file using the readByte( ) method.

import java.io.*;

public class ReadAccessFile{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
  BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
  System.out.print("Enter File name : ");
  String str = in.readLine();
  File file = new File(str);
  if(!file.exists())
  {
  System.out.println("File does not exist.");
  System.exit(0);
  }
  try{
  //Open the file for both reading and writing
  RandomAccessFile rand = new RandomAccessFile(file,"r"); 
  int i=(int)rand.length();
  System.out.println("Length: " + i);
 rand.seek(0);  //Seek to start point of file
  for(int ct = 0; ct < i; ct++){
  byte b = rand.readByte(); //read byte from the file
  System.out.print((char)b); //convert byte into char
  }
  rand.close();
  }
  catch(IOException e)
  {
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
  }
  }
}
