this is how we have been able to open and read a text file which is terminated by a semi colon:

    private final String PATH = "file:///Sparx/mytxt.txt";
    private final char ESC_CHAR = ';';

try 
            {
                FileConnection read = (FileConnection) Connector.open(PATH, Connector.READ);
                fileRead =  read.openDataInputStream();
              
                String theString = ""; 
                while(true)
                {
                    byte ch = fileRead.readByte();
                     if(ch == ESC_CHAR)
                    {
                        break;
                    }
                    theString += (char) ch;
                }
