Reset buffer with BufferedReader in Java?

by

mark/reset is what you want, however you can’t really use it on the BufferedReader, because it can only reset back a certain number of bytes (the buffer size). if your file is bigger than that, it won’t work. there’s no “simple” way to do this (unfortunately), but it’s not too hard to handle, you just need a handle to the original FileInputStream.

FileInputStream fIn = ...;
BufferedReader bRead = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fIn));

// ... read through bRead ...

// "reset" to beginning of file (discard old buffered reader)
fIn.getChannel().position(0);
bRead = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fIn));

(note, using default character sets is not recommended, just using a simplified example).
