public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    try {/*ww  w .j a  va  2  s  .  com*/
      Path path = Paths.get("/home/docs/users.txt");
      List<String> contents = Files.readAllLines(path, Charset.defaultCharset());
      for (String b : contents) {
        System.out.println(b);
      }
    } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

\u000D followed by  \u000A (CR/LF)
\u000A, (LF)
