In this code:

• We actually create the (temporary) file we want to read and delete it again at the end.
• Default charsets for reading text files are the work of the devil, we set UTF-8 explicitly.
• The files need to be properly closed with try-with-resources, this also applies to the stream approach.
• A “long” count as return value seems excessive, dropping to int.
