the code below does the same thing

You're code uses such terrible naming conventions that it is impossible
to read and understand. "BfR" should be something like "reader" or
"bufferedReader". aSx? Should that be "line"?

k? who uses "k" as a for loop index? Unless you're doing a three-level
deep Dynamic Programming algorithm.

It also appears that you're trying to use some sort of Hungarian
notation, and doing it contra the original intent: See
<http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Wrong.html>

BfR.close() should be in a finally block.

You also aren't declaring any variable here, so we have no idea what
types they are. You should declare variables as closely to the first
use as is possible.

Also, it looks like you're trying to micro-optimize this code which
reads one line at a time. What is the point of doing iKdPnt =
aSx.codePointAt(k), when you don't actually use that variable in the for
loop?

What is it exactly that you're trying to do? I mean, what's your end
goal, not what the means you've chosen for that end.
