i am using inputFileReader (J2SE 1.4.2_10) to read a tab delimited file.<br />
It works fine when the file size is a little over 5 mb. However when the file becomes 6 mb or larger, i get OutOfMemoryError: java heap space<br />
<br />
How do i fix the problem?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
