How to read a file with both text and binary data?

Question

For text data I use a BufferedReader,
for binary data I use a DataInputStream.
Since readLine is deprecated in DataInputStream, how can I read in a proper way a file that contains some lines of text followed by some binary data.
Is there a way to do this without writing a new 'readLine' for DataInputStream (that has to take into account the different newlines for Unix en other OS's)?

Answer 1

sorry about that ^
NEW STRING str
WHILE there is stuff in the file DO
    getByte()
    IF reading a string THEN
        WHILE byte is not a return character DO
            convert the byte to character/string
            append char to str
        WEND
    ELSE IF reading raw data THEN
        parse raw data
        do stuff with it
    END IF
WEND
