each record ends with ~ sign.
Now how do i read a single record using I/O package.
can someone please post the code snippet or some logic to read such files.

Answer 1

Read the file using RandomAccessFile
File fileToRead = new File( fileName );
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(
fileToRead, "r" );
String str[] = null;
str = raf.readLine().split("~");
so the records will be stored in str, array of
String, first rec is str[0]
thank u sir,
i will be doing it very soon.
Like that.
