Error reading file

[sehudson]

    FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("C:/Users/Steve/Desktop/file.txt");
    // Get the object of DataInputStream
    DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));

I keep getting Error: C:\Users\Steve\Desktop\file.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2
at matrixapplication.Matrix.getValAt(Matrix.java:36)
at matrixapplication.Main.main(Main.java:20)
Java Result: 1

Im 100000x sure the file is there

There may be a better approach, but you could always use a filechooser.

There is definitely a better approach but I figured Id give you a suggestion.

Try creating a file object also.
File (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)

You could also try

File file = new File("C:\\MyFile.txt");

Give all those a shot and see if any of them work

On the command line cd to the Desktop directory and type "dir *.txt" (without the quotes) to see if the file is there. Remember Java is case sensitive.

ahh..found the problem. I named it file.txt, thinking the extension actually made a difference, but I guess not, so it was saving it as file.txt.txt :D
