NetBeans Reading Files

-----------------------------------

This works with the simpler IDEs, but when trying to do it from NetBeans, it said it could not find the file...
My file IS in my current filesystem, and it returns a "Cannot Find File" error..here's my code:

public void fileRead()
	{
		try
		{
			FileReader fileIn = new FileReader("input.txt");
			BufferedReader stIn = new BufferedReader(fileIn);

try the absolute path
"c:\folder\input.txt" or something

it will read the file only in the current directory.. i.e the directory in which the binary exectable (.jar or .class) is executed.. most IDE's separate the binary code from the source code.. just make sure the file ur trying to read is in the sam directory the .class files are in.

You don't need the intermediate object, either.  :)

I was talking about this:

FileReader fileIn = new FileReader("input.txt");
BufferedReader stIn = new BufferedReader(fileIn);

Which could just as easily be:

BufferedReader stIn = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("input.txt"));
