read text-file in jar

[Per Lovdinger]

Hi,
If I have a jar file which also includes a text-file,is there any way I can read that text-file
from another class in the same Jar ?
Thanks in advance

If I have understood ur question right, then it is possible.
Check this code snippet.. it should hopefully held u..

auomar<BLANK> T, R 
// define ur TEXT_RESOURCE .. Name of the text file.
try
{
ClassLoader cl = ConfigurationData.class.getClassLoader() ;
inputStream = cl.getResourceAsStream(TEXT_RESOURCE) ;
// Do whatever u want with the inputStream.
} 
catch (Exception e)
{
//handle exception here
}
