I use the readLine() method to read text, but I do not know how much text this method can read. Example.

how many texts can read and store on "str"?

Answer 1

he will read as much as is available until he meets eol

Answer 2

Integer.MAX_VALUE , but you obviously should not often come across this limitation.

- and note that this is because Integer.MAX_VALUE is the maximum size for a Java string

Answer 3

Until LINE BREAK , fluent. Exactly, see Matthew's Answer. Greetings.

Answer 4

This mistake makes me think that there is no limit.

Answer 5

If you need to ask this question, you will have a much bigger problem. Why are the lines you read so long that you need to worry about it? This indicates a poor design upstream.
