Reading in a dictionary file is the same as reading in any other file.
You use a BufferedReader and store the contents of the dictionary in
some kind of data structure, for example.
Not necessarily a BufferedReader. An DataInputStream or a
RandomAccessFile might be necessary. There's just no way of knowing
without more information.
What kind of info do you need? [...]
Well, you asked how to read the dictionary. Before you
can even begin, you need to know how the file is organized.
I for one am unable to advise you without such knowledge.
A few plausible file formats for a dictionary:
- Simple word list: Aarhus Aaron Ababa aback ...
- List with abbreviated prefixes: Aarhus3on1baba0aback ...
- Structure-sensitive: {,mis,over}take{,n,-ing,s}
.... and there are many, many more. Different formats call
for different approaches, and we can't advise you until
you tell us what you're dealing with.
