What about using int read() until you found a CR (0x0D) or LN (0x0A)? If it was a CR, check whether the next character is a LN.

There is no line-by-line reading for text files in the MIDP API. One option is to read the entire file into one long String (as you are doing), then to split it into lines. For example, use indexOf('\n') to find line breaks. You'll need to know whether your line breaks are '\n' or "\r\n".

You might find it slightly faster to read the file into a byte[], then convert it to a String as new String(byteArray, "UTF-8"), it should be slightly faster. Check here for techniques for reading from JAR resource files.

For including text files as resources in your JAR, you might like to look at this technique, which can be used for text localization, or for other text resources.
