So even though this is a simple project, I found a lack of good code on the web under this topic for multi lined strings. I thought I would share it with everyone. Hope it helps you! Prints file foward first, then in reverse (and yes there are many different ways to do this i.e. stringbuffer)
Please give feedback as to what you think...Thanks guys!
