Question - Loader Method

[newtojava]

Im getting the Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: Accounts (The system cannot find the file specified)
Im trying to set it so if there is no file then it just says "sorry no file" and goes back to Menu();
inside the loop I set the linklist 'AccountList' to null so any previous info saved with be overwritten so no duplicates. but if the file is not found
it keeps the info in the linklist incase the user wants to continue with what he was doing.

public void Loader(LinkList AccountList) throws IOException
	{
		
          
		File AccountsFile = new File("Accounts");
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(AccountsFile);
		
		if (AccountsFile.exists())
		{
		    //make account list empty
		   AccountList.head = null;
		   
         
	            while(keyboard.hasNextLine())
	            {
	            
	            	
	            		
	            	Account p = new Account();
	            		
	            	String AccountNumberLoaded = keyboard.nextLine();
	            	int AccountInt = Integer.parseInt(AccountNumberLoaded);
	                p.setAccountNumber(AccountInt);
	            
	               p.setName(keyboard.nextLine());
	            	         	
	                p.setAddress(keyboard.nextLine());
	            	
	                String BalanceLoaded = keyboard.nextLine();
	            	double BalanceDouble = Double.parseDouble(BalanceLoaded);
	                p.setBalance(BalanceDouble);
	                
	                AccountList.add(p);
	            	 
          	      
	            	
	            
	            }
	       
	            if (!(keyboard.hasNextLine()))
	            {
	            	System.out.println("Nothing to load - File is Empty!");
	            	
	            }
	
		      }		
		
		      if (!(AccountsFile.exists()))
		      {
		    	  System.out.println("No File Exists!");
		      }
	           
				MainClass.Menu(AccountList);
			}

If you have processing you want to do should a file not be found then you need to use a try/catch and catch the exception.
You can then handle that processing inside the catch block.

How would I go about this, I tried adding a try catch but I cant seem to get it to run past calling the loader thanks for helping

Ok it now works, however even though the file contains lines it always goes to "nothing to load - file is empty!"

public void Loader(LinkList AccountList) throws IOException
	{
		
          
		//File AccountsFile = new File("Accounts");
		//Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(AccountsFile);
		
		//if (AccountsFile.exists())
		//{
		try
		{
		
			File AccountsFile = new File("Accounts");
			Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(AccountsFile);
			
			
		   
         
	            while(keyboard.hasNextLine())
	            {
	            
	            	//make account list empty
	    			AccountList.head = null;
	            		
	            	Account p = new Account();
	            		
	            	String AccountNumberLoaded = keyboard.nextLine();
	            	int AccountInt = Integer.parseInt(AccountNumberLoaded);
	                p.setAccountNumber(AccountInt);
	            
	               p.setName(keyboard.nextLine());
	            	         	
	                p.setAddress(keyboard.nextLine());
	            	
	                String BalanceLoaded = keyboard.nextLine();
	            	double BalanceDouble = Double.parseDouble(BalanceLoaded);
	                p.setBalance(BalanceDouble);
	                
	                AccountList.add(p);
	            	 
          	      
	            	
	            
	            }
	       
	            if(!(keyboard.hasNextLine()))
	            {
	            	System.out.println("Nothing to load - File is Empty!");
	            	
	            }
	
		       }
		
		
		      //if (!(AccountsFile.exists()))
	          catch (Exception e)
		      {
		    	  System.out.println("No File Exists!");
		      }
		    
	
				MainClass.Menu(AccountList);
			
	    }

That's because you've asked it to.
The above code occurs in the try block after you have reached the ned of the file, so whenever the code gets to the last line of the file, whether there was anything in the file or not, it prints out that sentence.
That, presumbaly, should be before your the loop.
