Thread: Reading a file with bufferedreader

I can open a file and have it's contents read and printed out on the compiler, so I atleast know that it is reading the file. What I am trying to do though, is to set what is being read, into a JTextArea of a memopad that I created. I just can't get it to work.

This is my textarea:

private JTextArea display = new JTextArea();

]

This is my method to open a file:

private void open()
{
  String file = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please eneter a file name");
  if(file.equals("") || file.length()==0)
 JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "No file selected. Please enter a file name.");
 String text;
     try
        {
          in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
 
          while((text=in.readLine())!=null)
            {
               System.out.println(text);//just to make sure it is reading
             }
 
           display.setText(text);
           in.close();
       }
 
    catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe)
      {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error opening file. File Not Found.");
      }
   catch(IOException e)
    {
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error reading file.");
    }
 
 
}

Thanks! This is what I came up with

try
 {
  in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
 String read=in.readLine();
 String text=new String();
 
while((read=in.readLine())!=null)
 {
   text=(new StringBuilder()).append(text).append(read).append("\n").toString();
   System.out.println(text);//just to make sure it is reading
 }
        in.close();
        display.setText(text);
 
}

Only problem is, it is not reading the first line of text from the file?

Sorry! Nevermind, I figured out why!! Sheesh, that was simple :[
