File Not Found Exception Occurred while using JXL API

[satishkumar janakiraman]

Hi,

I am using jxl api for reading Excel sheet. Before I was using jdbc for reading excel and I found a problem in reading more than 255 characters from one column.
I am getting filenot found exception when I use the following code snippet.

  
File excelfile = new File(filename);
System.out.println("Here is the file " + filename);
Workbook excelworkbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(excelfile);  // exception here

can anyone give me a pointer to solve this problem?

bye for now

What's the result of:

File excelfile = new File(filename);
System.out.println(""+excelfile.exists());

Hi,

Thanks for your immediate reply. Actually there was an empty space in the beginning of the path. Now I trimmed the string and it works fine.
Thanks once again for your reply
bye for now
