Finding Text Files

Hi, I'm new to the forums.

I joined as I have a problem with a text file. I'm just testing on an example code, but everytime I try and run the java project it says it can not find the file.

Code:

---

public class JavaTest {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                TextIO.readFile("sample_maze2.txt");
                // sample_maze2.txt has a line with two numbers on it saying how many rows and
                // how many columns of characters there are in the rest of the file.
                // All calls to TextIO.get methods read now read from sample_maze2.txt.
                int rows = TextIO.getInt();  // this is the number of rows in the file (maze)
                int cols = TextIO.getlnInt();  // this is the number of columns in the file (maze)
                char[][] array = new char[6][12];
                // Each line of sample_maze2.txt contains cols number of characters
                // and there are rows number of lines
                for (int i=0; i < rows; i++) {
                        for (int j=0; j < cols; j++) {
                                array[i][j] = TextIO.getChar();
                        }
                        TextIO.getln();
                }
                TextIO.readStandardInput(); // This closes the file
                TextIO.putln("Display the maze using 'maze' characters:");
                // In the maze project, whenever you read a '0' you display a wall character
                // whenever you read a '1' you display a path character
                // whenever you read a '2' you display an entrance character
                // whenever you read a '3' you display an exit character
                for (int i=0; i < rows; i++) {
                        for (int j=0; j < cols; j++) {
                                if (array[i][j]=='0') TextIO.put('*');
                                if (array[i][j]=='1') TextIO.put(' ');
                                if (array[i][j]=='2') TextIO.put('E');
                                if (array[i][j]=='3') TextIO.put('X');
                        }
                        TextIO.putln();
                }
               
               
        }
}

The sample_maze2.txt file is in the same file as the java project I'm making, any reason why I always get "Error :java.io.FileNotFoundException: sample_maze2.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)"?

Quick help would be great, if I solved this, I'd be well on my way!

The file should be found if it's in the project root directory. An easy way to find out where that is, is to create a file in your code and see where it gets put, e.g:

Code:

---

TextIO.writeFile("file_test.txt");
TextIO.put("foo!");

---

Thank you for your quick reply, I have managed to find the textfile now, for some reason the folder it was in, was not acceptable.
It's now solved!
