Reading in Text Files

[blueduiker]

Does anyone know why I can't read Tile.txt???????
I get this error from the code below
Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: Tile.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)

The java program does not find the file: Tile.txt in the current directory.

Where are the files: .class and data located?
How are you executing the program?

I using eclipse, so I saved the Tile.txt file in C:\Users\Chris O'Brien\workspace\Jeopardy\src
The other files are in there as well.
I have 3 java files and that Tile.txt file. The two other files are:
[CODE]
import java.io.IOException;

public class GameBoardTester {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

Tile theTile;
GameBoard gb = new GameBoard ("Tile.txt");
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
System.out.println("\nNEW COLUMN\n");
for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
{
theTile = gb.getTile(i,j);
System.out.println ("\n" + theTile);
}

}

}
}
[\CODE]
[CODE]
public class Tile {

private String question;
private String answer;
private int value;
private boolean isAnswered;

public Tile(String q, String a, int v) {

isAnswered = false;
question = q;
answer = a;
value = v;
}

public String toString ()
{
String s = question;
s+= "\n" + answer;
s+= "\nScore: " + value;
return s;
}


}

sorry the code tags didn't work

import java.io.IOException;

public class GameBoardTester {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

Tile theTile;
GameBoard gb = new GameBoard ("Tile.txt");
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
System.out.println("\nNEW COLUMN\n");
for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
{
theTile = gb.getTile(i,j);
System.out.println ("\n" + theTile); 
}

}

}
}

public class Tile {

private String question;
private String answer;
private int value;
private boolean isAnswered;

public Tile(String q, String a, int v) {

isAnswered = false;
question = q;
answer = a;
value = v;
}

public String toString ()
{
String s = question;
s+= "\n" + answer;
s+= "\nScore: " + value;
return s;
}


}

I using eclipse, so I saved the Tile.txt file in C:\Users\Chris O'Brien\workspace\Jeopardy\src

It doesn't belong in src. Put it in C:\Users\Chris O'Brien\workspace\Jeopardy instead.

Hey man there's nothing wrong with appreciation.

A simple "thank you" will do.

And you can even mark the question as "solved".
