i think if a textfile is very large and without even one "/n" ,when we read this file using "readLine()" , the whole file will be read into buffer as a line, then it will cause an overflow ?(i think 40G hard drive is far larger than 256M memory)

The worst you should get is an OutOfMemoryError - when you've actually used up all the memory allocated to the JVM (but you can allocated more).
