java - FileReader not reading entire text file

Question

I want my code to read a txt file and print out each line, but nearly half of the lines are being skipped over seeming randomly. How do I ensure the entire file is read?

        BufferedInputStream readIt = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(pBase));
        //pBase is txt File object
        Scanner actualRead = new Scanner(readIt);

    
        while(actualRead.hasNextLine()){
            System.out.println("Line is : " + actualRead.nextLine());
            
        }

Answer 1

Alternatively..scanner can take a file parameter as input...

Scanner actualRead = new Scanner(pBase); //directly pass the file as argument...
//Although this threatens to throw an IOException..catch  it in try-catch or add to throws...
try {
  Scanner actualRead = new Scanner(pBase);
  while (actualRead.hasNextLine()) {
    System.out.println("Line is : " + actualRead.nextLine());
}
catch (IOException e) {
  System.out.println("err...");
