[osol-help] Need a fast ascii file reader in Java

[Girish Rao]

Hi,
My application needs to read around 50000 small ascii (1-25lines) files. 
Currently I use the BufferedReader API to read ascii files.
Can you suggest something faster than the below.

Thanks



private ArrayList<String> readDataFile(String fileName) {
                String lineData;
                List<String> fileContents = new ArrayList<String>();
                BufferedReader moFile=null;
                try {
                        moFile = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (new File ( 
fileName)));
                        while ((lineData = moFile.readLine()) != null)
                        {

                                fileContents.add(lineData);
                        }
                } catch(IOException e) {
                        myLogger.error("Exception caught while reading data 
file: " + fileName + e.toString());
                }finally {
                        try {
                                moFile.close();
                        }catch(Exception e) {
                                //Ignore
                        }
                }
                return fileContents;
        }
