	public static void main(String[] args) {

		String path = "example.txt";
		String line = "";
        try
        {
        
    		FileReader reader = new FileReader(path);
    		BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(reader);
    		while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) 
    		{
    			System.out.println(line);
    		}
        } 
        catch (IOException e)

             path.createNewFile();
             FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(path);
             BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(writer);  
             bw.write("testrnwrite");
