Scanning characters in a text file

Question

Hello, firstly I am trying to get the program to work, then I will use different methods (program description shown in code).
I have not done Java for a while therefore I do not know if i am on the right track or not - please say. Basicly I have the characters in an array, but when I display them its looks like 160, 160, 12, 13, etc etc i.e. their is a separate number for each character.
What I need to know is how to I get this number back to a character?
Thank you anyone
import java.io.*;
* Write an application which scans through a text file, and counts
* (and displays) the occurrences of a particular character (supplied
* by the user) on each line of the file. Use a method to count the
* occurrences on one line. The specification of the method should be:
* private int countCharacters(String line, char c)
* The method returns the number of �c� character in the line.
public class TextfileScan2
     public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception
          byte[] byteArray = new byte[100];
          FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("File.txt");
          int byteRead;
          int index = 0;
          while ((byteRead = in.read()) != -1)
               byteArray[index] = (byte)byteRead;
               index++;
          in.close();
          for(int i = 0; i < byteArray.length; i++)
               System.out.println(byteArray);

No need to get quite so uptight. Anyway I think I am making progress although what I have does not compile as it says I need to add curly braces to lines 28 and 44.
Can someone please tell me why I get this error. Maybe the name of the methods - have tried changing but no luck.
cheers
