what is the way to get get path dynamically as I am getting Getting java.io.FilenotFoundException while using FileStream

Hi Experts,

I am trying to read text file which works great on my local but when I deploy it on server it creates problem because the path on server is different as that of my local.

My Local Path:
   C:\Folder1\Project\File.txt
Server Path:
 C:\F1\F2\F3\F4\Project\File.txt

So in code I have used like this:
 Java.IO.FileINputStream.open +  new FileInputStream("./Project/File.txt")

It works great on my local but fails when I deploy it on server, reason is path.

Is there any way I could make it dynamic so that it could itself detect the right path ?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

You could also use a system property for the path and specify it on the command line
java -Dmypath=C:\Folder1\Project\ MyProgram

Or pass in the path as an argument to your program.
java MyProgram C:\Folder1\Project\ MyProgram
