Reading a file while file being written at the same time

Below code describes how to read a file when a particular file is actively being written. Here is a full example. For the below example the mentioned file should be existed in the mentioned path else it will throw FileNotFoundException. import java.io.BufferedInputStream; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.io.IOException; public class ReadingFileWhileWrite extends Thread { boolean running = true; BufferedInputStream reader = null; public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException { ReadingFileWhileWrite tw = new ReadingFileWhileWrite(); tw.reader = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("TestFile.txt")); tw.start(); } public void run() { while (running) { try { if (reader.available() > 0) { System.out.print((char) reader.read()); } else { try {
