Try using Properties.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File file  = null;

try {
// read the property text  file
file = new File("o:\\simulator\\myproperty.prop");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);

Properties prop = new Properties();
// feed the property with the file
prop.load(fis);

// Get the application to print out all the key and the value
// of your property file
Enumeration enum = prop.propertyNames();
while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
String key = (String) enum.nextElement();
String value = (String) prop.get(key);
System.out.println(key + ":" + value);
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
fnfe.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}

Why don't you use a property file?
Look at the API docs, and search  for the PropertyResourceBundle class!

FileInputStream in=new FileInputStream("<file name>");
Properties prop=new Properties();
prop.load(in);
in.close();
String path=prop.getProperty("PATH");
String connectt=prop.getProperty("CONNECT_STRING");
