FileReader - How Can I Reset The File Pointer to the Beginning of the File in Java? 

(or)

Mark() and reset() not supported error for FileReader Class ?!?

The answer is just one line : You cannot work with mark() and reset() methods with FileReader. DON'T WORRY. You

have a one line solution to make it worked out.

Suppose your code is similar to the one shown below and you are trying with mark() and reset() as shown here:

FileReader file=new FileReader("apple.txt");

file.mark(25);

while((ch=file.read())!=-1)

Sytem.out.print((char) ch);

file.reset();

And you will get error like: "mark() not supported" 

So, the solution is using BufferedReader which supports both mark() and reset(). See the following code

 snippet on how to do modifications in your code.

FileReader file=new FileReader("apple.txt");

BufferedReader b=new BufferedReader(file);

b.mark(25);

while((ch=b.read())!=-1)

Sytem.out.print((char) ch);

b.reset();
