[RESOLVED] FileReader problem

[gavio]

Hello! First time posting here... usually on VB However, i have some problems with FileReader. This is what i've came up with (fileName is correct btw):

String fileName="test.txt";
int sign;

    FileReader myStream=new FileReader(fileName);

        while((sign=myStream.read())!=-1){
            System.out.print(sign);
        }

    myStream.Close();

First, it returned 49... now... it's returning 49+some numbers. I know it's something easy, but just can't figure it out. Where am i going wrong?

Ok. I've figured out, that if i use FileWriter in combination with FileReader, it perfectly "copies" the file. I've created a new FileWriter and added this code:

myStream2.write(sign);

Works in flying colors But why this sign cannot be displayed on the screen (by me of course) ; or more important, how can it be displayed on the screen? I've tried to "cast":

(String)(sign)

it says, "uncomparable types"... I'm loosing it over a simple integer!!!! Anyone?

        while((sign=myStream.read())!=-1){
            System.out.print((char)sign);
        }

Thanx!
