ObjectInputStream.readUTF() has the following syntax.
public String readUTF() throws IOException
In the following code shows how to use ObjectInputStream.readUTF() method.
/*ww w . jav a 2 s .com*/ import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.ObjectInputStream; import java.io.ObjectOutputStream; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { String s = "Hello World from java2s.com!"; FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("test.txt"); ObjectOutputStream oout = new ObjectOutputStream(out); oout.writeUTF(s); oout.writeUTF("This is an example from java2s.com"); oout.flush(); oout.close(); ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream( "test.txt")); System.out.println(ois.readUTF()); System.out.println(ois.readUTF()); ois.close(); } }
The code above generates the following result.
