Java whitespaces between each caracter in file reading

Question

I am currently codding a Java application for me and my friends and I am encoutering a big problem... When I try to read a txt file, it prints the lines with strange caracters and each caracter is separed by a white space. I tryed with multiple txt files in different folders and I prints the same thing everytime... (I tryed to make the code with a Scanner and a BufferedReader and it is still the same problem

Here is my code:

                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(_file));

                String website = "";
                String username = "";
                String password = "";
                int usedTimes = 0;

                String currentLine;
                while ((currentLine = br.readLine()) != null) {

                    if(currentLine.startsWith("Web Site")) website = currentLine.split(":")[1];
                    else if(currentLine.startsWith("User Name")) username = currentLine.split(":")[1];
                    else if(currentLine.startsWith("Password")) password = currentLine.split(":")[1];
                    else if(currentLine.startsWith("Password Use Count"))
                    {
                        usedTimes = Integer.parseInt(currentLine.split(":")[1]);
                        passwords.add(new Password(website, username, password, usedTimes));

                        website = "";
                        username = "";
                        password = "";
                        usedTimes = 0;
                    }
                }
                br.close();

Here is an example output: (I cant copy/paste the output so I place a picture)

So if anyone of you knows the answer, please tell me it would be great !

Thank you really much for reading this until here ! Julien.

It may be encoding issue. You have to check text file encoding, and then you have to try like this: BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader("ISO-XXXXX"))
