I am making a program that opens and reads a file. This is my code:
import java.io.*;
public class FileRead{
public static void main(String[] args){
try{
File file = new File("hello.txt");
System.out.println(file.getCanonicalPath());
FileInputStream ft = new FileInputStream(file);
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(ft);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
String strline;
while((strline = br.readLine()) != null){
System.out.println(strline);
}
in.close();
}catch(Exception e){
System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
but when I run, I get this error:
C:\Users\User\Documents\Workspace\FileRead\hello.txt
Error: hello.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)
my FileRead.java
and hello.txt
where in the same directory that can be found in:
C:\Users\User\Documents\Workspace\FileRead
I'm wondering what I am doing wrong?
I have copied your code and it runs fine.
I suspect you are simply having some problem in the actual file name of hello.txt, or you are running in a wrong directory. Consider verifying by the method suggested by @Eng.Fouad
