Question

i’m trying to read text from a text file that I have in my computer in drive D:

So, I wrote in Java:

public class Test {
    public static void main(String [] args ) throws IOException{
        FileReader in= new FileReader("D:\nir");
        BufferedReader bin= new BufferedReader(in);
        String text = bin.readLine();
    }
}

I’m getting this error exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:ir
  (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at java.io.FileReader.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at A11.main(A11.java:14)

I don’t understand what is wrong, since the file exist, the name is correct, perhaps I don’t use the correct syntax and commands?

Answer 1

I think, you should first check if file is exists or not. Also use: D:\\file.txt

File file = new File(fileName);
if (file.exists()) {
    FileReader rader = new FileReader("D:\\file.txt");      
}
