public class ReadingFromFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        FileReader fr;
        char[] target = new char[30];

        try {
            fr = new FileReader("<file_name.txt>");
            fr.read(target);
            System.out.println(target);
            fr.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Error reading file");
            System.out.println(e.toString());
