Question

So I have this code that pops up a file chooser and reads the file:

JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(); 
File file = null; 
int returnValue = chooser.showOpenDialog( null ) ; 
if( returnValue == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION ) { 
   file = chooser.getSelectedFile() ;
} 
if(file != null) { 
   String filePath = file.getPath();
} 

// String filePath (that's what i'm trying to input) = "Users/Bill/Desktop/hello.txt";
try { 
   ReadFile files = new ReadFile(***);
   String[] lines = files.OpenFile();

the three asterisks (*) represent the class path of the file to be read. What should I put there if I want to read the file? Before this, I hard-coded the class-path and passed it in and it worked, but now, the class-path can be whatever the user chooses. Thanks for your help!

I don’t know what your ReadFile thing is, but it looks like it takes a string representing the file path. In which case, you probably want to give it file.getPath().
