About throw message

[killerf2006]

Hi all,

I have an application which throws an exception whenever I use a different input file and I use swing button to run the application. Is it possible to ask the user to input the correct file in a message dialog box to the user whenever the application throws that exception. Now I'm getting the exception message in a console window(Eclipse).

When you have function that throws exception and when you are calling it in your program, you must call it in a try / catch block


for example:
public void readNextLine() throws IOException {
// code here
}

and when you call it in your program it goes in try/catch block

try {
myFile.readNextLine();
} catch(IOException exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}

I think that the OP wants to recursively ask user to enter the correct file name until user enters the incorrect one. In the catch block you repeat the logic that to ask from user to enter the values again.

Can you mark the thread solved then?
