java - Advancing text in a text file using user input -

so in first year of college christmas project needed make basic game using if statements, chose text adventure me being novice chose write out every print out:

system.out.println("you approach 2 cupboards 1 on right , 1 on left.\nwhich 1 inspect?");         system.out.println("please press 1 inspect right cupboard or 2 press left cupboard.");         int action1 = 0;         while(action1 !=1 && action1!=2){//checking make sure no 1 puts in number thats not 1 or 2             action1 = in.nextint();//start of player choice             if( action1 == 1)             {                 system.out.println("in right cupboard find note.\nupon reading note says:");                 system.out.println("hello" + " " + name + " " + "you're wondering why woke in kitchen whith driend blood on shirt unable rememeber anything.\npretty understandable. however, you're part of game , expect play rules. i'm waiting in attic, if can here in 1 piece i'll reveal all.\n ciao");                 enter = in.nextline();                 system.out.println("after reading note check next cupboard.");                 system.out.println("it contains small key.\nfar small of locks in kitchen, keep , move on.");                 enter = in.nextline();             } 

but i'm off summer i'm trying study programming myself not rusty, thought it'd idea go game , clean embedding text in text file, theres 1 problem, have absolutely no idea how allow user advance text @ own pace text appears on screen , looks kind of jarring. i'll include sample code in case helps

 scanner in = new scanner(system.in);         filereader file = new filereader("c:/users/jamie/desktop/textadventure/textfiles/opening.txt");         bufferedreader reader = new bufferedreader(file);          string text = ""; //string hold text in text file         string line = reader.readline();         while (line != null)         {             text += line+"\n";             line = reader.readline();         }         system.out.println(text); 

i'd prefer nudge in right direction instead of full on example i'd figure out myself, little greatful thanks!

type writer approach:

string filename = "file.txt"; list<string> lines = new arraylist<string>(); try (bufferedreader br = new bufferedreader(new filereader(filename))) {     string str;     while ((str = br.readline()) != null)     {         lines.add(str);     } } catch (ioexception ioe) {     //handle errors }  while (lines.size() > 0) {     //we know lines more 0 remove first element     string nextlineout = lines.remove(0);     (int charindex = 0; charindex < nextlineout.length(); charindex++)     {         system.out.print(nextlineout.charat(charindex));         try         {             //every time character printed console sleep 50 milliseconds             thread.sleep(50);         }         catch (interruptedexception ie)         {//handle errors         }     }     //we have reached end of line print out new line     system.out.print(system.lineseparator()); } 

for print single line , wait x time approach. replace code within

while(lines.length() > 0) {  } 

with

string nextlineout = lines.remove(0); system.out.println(nextlineout); try {     //get amount of characters in next line multiply 50 pause of x milliseconds per line     thread.sleep(nextlineout.length() * 50); } catch (interruptedexception ie) {//handle errors }
