import java.io.*;

public class ObjectInputStreamDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      String s = "Hello World";
      try {

         // create a new file with an ObjectOutputStream
         FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("test.txt");
         ObjectOutputStream oout = new ObjectOutputStream(out);

         // write something in the file
         oout.writeUTF(s);
         oout.flush();

         // create an ObjectInputStream for the file we created before
         ObjectInputStream ois =
                 new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("test.txt"));

         // read and print from index 0 to 7
         byte[] b = new byte[13];
         ois.readFully(b, 0, 7);
         String array = new String(b);
         System.out.println("" + array);

      } catch (Exception ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
      }

   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:
