java read files from directory iteratively and assign values separate arraylists -

i read txt files iteratively , want read contents of each file , assign content arraylists separately. code use reaching txt files :

path basepath = paths.get("filepath");  try (directorystream<path> pathlist = files.newdirectorystream(basepath,     "*.txt")) {   (path path : pathlist) {     system.out.println(path.tostring());   }  } catch (ioexception e) {    e.printstacktrace(); } 

i'm not sure understood question.

use bufferedreader read contents of files line line, there can add lines arraylists.

 path basepath = paths.get("filepath");  try (directorystream<path> pathlist = files.newdirectorystream(basepath,     "*.txt")) {   (path path : pathlist) {     bufferreader reader = files.newbufferedreader(path, standardcharsets.utf_8);     string currentline = reader.readline();     arraylist<string> comments = new arraylist<>();     while( currentline != null ) {         comments.add(currentline);         currentline = reader.readline();     }   }    } catch (ioexception e) {         e.printstacktrace();   }
