           Summary: FileUtils needs a toString that takes a filename and
                    returns its contents as a string
           Product: Commons
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: IO
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sstrenn@yahoo.com


FileUtils needs a one-liner method call for reading from a file into a string,
something like:

String s = FileUtils.toString("C:\\this\\that\\data.txt");

This function would default the encoding system, so that it didn't have to be
added as a parameter, but would have an overloaded version to allow the user to
change it.

Thanks,
