// Here we create an instance of File to hold our
// sample.txt file.
File file = new File("sample.txt");
try

// Read the entire contents of sample.txt
String content = FileUtils.readFileToString(file);
// For shake of this example we show the file content here.
System.out.println("File content: " + content);
} catch (IOException e)

e.printStackTrace();
