java.util.scanner - Java scanner reading garbage

Question

I am reading a text file using java Scanner.

try {
            while(sc.hasNextLine()) {
                //Read input from file
                inputLine = sc.nextLine().toUpperCase();
                System.out.println(inputLine);
}

The above gives below output while my text file only includes "aabbcc". How to avoid scanner from scanning the garbage? Thanks.

You are reading a RTF Document. If you want to read the text only you can try reading it into a byte array and parsing out the text using swings rtfeditorkit.

Path path = Paths.get("path/to/file");
byte[] data = Files.readAllBytes(path);

RTFEditorKit rtfParser = new RTFEditorKit();
Document document = rtfParser.createDefaultDocument();
rtfParser.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(data), document, 0);
String text = document.getText(0, document.getLength());
