public class ReadFileToStringSample {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // In this example we use FileUtils class from Apache
    // Commons IO (commons.io) to read the content of a
    // file. FileUtils have two static methods called
    // readFileToString(File file) and readFileToString(
    // File file, String encoding) that we can user.
    // 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);
