But i use append() for reading file..If all you're doing is reading a file into a text component, use the read() method:
BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("myFile.txt"));
textComponent.read(r, null);
r.close();It will be much more efficient.
Also note that 'pane.setText(pane.getText() + "whatever")' is very inefficient if the text contained by the text component is very large. getText() creates a copy of the text represented in the component, so if you have a lot of text, or if you're appending text over and over in a loop, it's better to just call pane.getDocument() and add the text directly to the end of it.
