Your are not using parentheses {} with your while loop, and you really should.
I believe that the problem is that the new line character is not being included.
It's good to use the readLine() method, but you have to remember that it does
not return the "end of line characters" so you would have to supply that yourself.
Fortunately, System.out.println() will add a new line for you, but you would have
to call it after each readLine() for it to look right.
Also, I don't see why you are using both s1 and y. Here is an example using the
variable "line" to hold the line of text being read.
BufferedReader screenReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print("Enter the File name: ");
String str = screenReader.readLine();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(str));
String line = "";
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
     System.out.println(line);
}Hope it helps.
