Lesson 16 File I-O

MRGLENN · February 19th, 2012, 05:06 PM

Java File: FileInputStream.java on Page 164
and the Src Code File

gives IO Exception (File Not Found... abc.dat )

The File is Created & Located in the Src Folder of Eclipse.

Runs Fine with Another Compiler. Any Ideas

Found the Problem to Not Reading Users File (abc.dat )

in : Eclipse (IDE)

WorkAround

1:Use: Notepad.exe or Similar File

to Create: abc.dat

2: Then Save to

a. Root Folder of Project

1. Not the Eclipse src Folder

b. Do the same for File: states.txt

It Must be Saved in Root Folder of : Leesson 16

Apparently Eclipse Does Not Read Users Files From
the .src Folder. Hope this Helps All

Worked for me when I used the full path name of the file, as follows:

Code:

myFile = new FileInputStream("C:\\Eclipse\\Cristina\\workspace\\CLesson16\\src\\abc.dat");

Also, you can create the text file in Eclipse as well, choosing New->File from the menu.

You can find in the book more details regarding the default current directory and how to find it out programmatically.
