[SOLVED] How do I read from a text file

[matzahboy]

I'm asking this question because I want to learn how to read and write from a text file.

Let's say I have a text file names.txt that has 1000 names listed 1 name in each row. It is saved in "C:/names.txt".

I have 3 scenarios:

1. I want to set each name into an array.
String[] theNames = new String[1000]

2. I want to take each name and add "Mr. " before it. Save the new names to the same text file.

3. Same as #2, except create a new text file (theNewNames.txt) and save the names there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How would I do each of these?

Have you read the sun IO tutorial? That's where I'd start.

Oh and 2 and 3 would be the same, I think, only for 2. I'd rename the new file to the old file when done. That way you can rename things on the fly .

Where would I find the sun IO tutorial? Can you post a link?

Sure, but I recommend that you bookmark this page: The Really Big Index

The specific link is here: Lesson: Basic I/O

Thank you so much for that really big index link. I'm going to spend a good chunk of time in the next few days, going over a few of the topics. I've been looking for this kind of thing for a while and now I've found it :)
