Scanner problem

[mkay]

i want the Scanner to read data from a file...

Scanner sc = new Scanner(new File("file"));

->this works,
but now i'm trying to type the file as a parameter in the console, because i don't want to change the code each time i load a different file
i tried this..
Quote:
Scanner sc = new Scanner(new File(System.in));
but - fail.
maybe sb can help me please, thy mkay (:

Why don't you make a Scanner to get filename and then reassign that Scanner to a FileReader with the filename as a paramater

Steps:

// Create scanner > System.in
// Get filename from user > store into variable
// Create file reader with variable from above
