Thanks @Aewsome_Spider for the tutorials to BufferedReaders and Writers. I found a better tutorial for reading files in Java - goes over a lot more ways to read files and even tests which way is fastest. Java file reading tutorial: https://funnelgarden.com/java_read_file/

Have a look at this article for how to read from files in Java - you can read each character and then convert it to lower case. import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.nio.file.Files; public class ReadFile_Files_ReadAllBytes { public static void main(String [] pArgs) throws IOException { String fileName = "c:\\temp\\sample-10KB.txt"; File file = new File(fileName); byte [] fileBytes = Files.readAllBytes(file.toPath()); char singleChar; char singleCharLower; for(byte b : fileBytes) { singleChar = (char) b; singleCharLower = Character.toLowerCase(singleChar); System.out.print(singleCharLower); } } }
