java.io.FileNotFoundException

the file needs to be in the same directory you are running it from.

It is in the same directory as i am running from

then it should find it, what command do you use to run it?

Before we can read from or write to a file we must first open the file. To open a file for reading we use the constructor contained FileReader class:

FileReader file = new FileReader("HelloWorld2.java");

This creates a stream object, called file, to read from a file called HelloWorld2.java (Table 1) contained in the current directory. If the named file cannot be opened a FileNotFoundException is generated. Consequently, whereas previously we declared instances of the InputStreamReader class as class instances we must now declare them as local instances within a method. Having done this we can now use the file object to create an instance of the BufferedReader class as before:

FileReader file          = new FileReader("HelloWorld2.java");
BufferedReader fileInput = new BufferedReader(file);

Note the similarity between this and the declarations used in the code given in Table 2:

 
InputStreamReader input         = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader    keyboardInput = new BufferedReader(input);

The BufferedReader constructor requires its argument to be an instance of the class Reader (or a sub-class of the class Reader), both the InputStreamReader and the FileReader classes are sub-callses of Reader and will therefore suffice. A class diagram illustrating the connections between these different classes is presented in Figure 1.

Post ur code and the directory structure u kept.....i'll check it out

============================= THE CODE =========================

 public void read()
    {
           CDCollections = new HashMap();
     
        String line;
        try
        {
             BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader
                                         ( new FileReader("database.txt"));
             
            while( ( line = infile.readLine()) != EOS )
            {
                String fields[] = line.split("\\|");
                if( 0 == Integer.parseInt(fields[1]))
                {
                   typeOfCd = new Cd();
                   ((Cd)typeOfCd).read(fields, infile);
                   CDs.add(typeOfCd);
                }
               
               if( 1 == super.getType() )
               {
                   typeOfCd = new CompilationCd();
                   ((CompilationCd)typeOfCd ).read(fields, infile);
                   CDs.add(typeOfCd);
               }
              CDCollections.put(fields[1], typeOfCd );
              CdCategories.add(fields[1]);
             }
               infile.close();
         }
        catch(IOException e)
        {
            System.err.print("Unexpected IO erro: " + e);
        }
    }
   

the file needs to be in the same directory you are running it from, for example, i have a project (create by NetBean) name MyApp, source file placed in MyApp/src/mypackage/source.java

and text file should be in MyApp/Text.txt

BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("Text.txt")); //will work correctly.

Other wise, you need to put fullpath of files.

my bad splitting the point, could the page editor give , the assisted answer points to dungla ?

Use

System.out.println(new File("cdDdatabase.txt").getAbsolutePath());

to see what's the file absolute path and see does it exists on that path.

Are you writing java applet?

Haha .... so late ;-)

I guess i just find a bug in this EE page implementation: The software shouldn't let me split point among the same Experts
see...?
