Im curently writing a script for a few freinds and myself to keep track of our stats and i would like this file to save certain inputs as well as make a new file to make sure that there is a backup of old files. How would i do this?

I seem to have a problem and i think it is because im using netbeans but im not sure. Its most likely the reason since I commonly get errors when something should work fine. It is stating that "\" while creating the directory is an illegal escape character. Can anyone tell me what this means? Also cna anyone sugest a better IDE or way to program?

[JavaBean]

Please paste the line this error is being generated. What is the path you used? Does it a valid path for your operating system (you can not put backlash inside double quotes (you need to write twice of them to escape itself))? Pasting full error/exception here may help us understand your problem too.

"C:\java\game_Version_"+set1+".txt" is what i had, needed to be switched to "C:/java/game_Version_"+set1+".txt". sorry for the confusion

ok i have put in the read file scripting which i got from the create a file link and its giving me a warning about
Note: C:\Documents and Settings\Bill\Halfball 2007\src\halfball2007\Main.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.

what is this? how do i recomplie with that as a flag? how do i recomplie with a -deprecated flag?

[JavaBean]

That means that you are using a deprecated method call or a deprecated class. To see the details use following command while compiling:

Code:

    javac -Xlint:deprecation YourMainClass.java

instead of:

Code:

    javac YourMainClass.java

If you are using a specific IDE, you need to find the way to add compiler parameters for your java project. (e.g. for netbeans: right click on your project node and select properties).
