import java.io.*;

class Test {

   //--------------------------------------------------< main >--------//

   public static void main (String[] args) {
      Test t = new Test();
      t.readMyFile();
   }


   //--------------------------------------------< readMyFile >--------//

    void readMyFile() {

       String record = null;
       String rec=null;
       int recCount = 0;

       try {

          FileReader fr     = new FileReader("c:/abc/java/prash.txt");
          FileReader fr1    = new FileReader("c:/abc/java/pras.txt");
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
          BufferedReader br1 = new BufferedReader(fr1);
          record = new String();
          rec = new String();
          while ((record = br.readLine()) != null && (rec=br1.readLine())!=null) {
            // recCount++;
             System.out.print(record +" "+  rec);
             //System.out.print(rec);
          }

       } catch (IOException e) {
          // catch possible io errors from readLine()
          System.out.println("Uh oh, got an IOException error!");
          e.printStackTrace();
       }

    } // end of readMyFile()

 } // end of class

If you do not want to learn it from scratch I would recommend using the Apache Commons io library. The FileUtils class has a simple interface to read from and write to a file.

A good place to start learning Java IO would be to look over Sun's Java Tutorials on File IO . If you're looking into how to read in individual lines, I would particularly look at Scanners. And if at some point you're looking to manipulate Strings like this without IO being heavily involved, I'd look at Java's StringBuilder.
