hi ...
i have this application that has a text field(voice) in which you enter the path of the .au file and it will be added in the database, and i also have asearch button that will search for that .au file with the info related to it but i get the unicode of the path(.au file)when i do the search which i don't want .. i want to get the path itself because when i get the unicode i can't play the .au file.(the field in the database that stores the .au files is of type text)..what i mean by unicode is for example when i enter c:\java\flute.au i get 00EEFDCDDFCEE0DDC of the path )
can some one tell me where the error is?
how to correct the error?
please help..

This is also a duplicate of this thread. I closed the other one.

Are you sure that the path is being added into the database? How do you know?

well actually after i enter the path in the text field , i open the database and see in the voice field that something has been added( but i don't see the path ) i get something like blocks which i can't understand ,, but when i search for it in the application i get the hexadecimal of the path..(instead of getting c:\java\flute.au i get 00DDEFDCCEFF00DCCF)...
this is my problem i want the path not the hexadecimal..

You are not getting the path out of the database because you are not putting the path into the database.

You have three lines of code here that are at all related to your problem. Where in these lines are you finding a path of anything?

I suggest that you would benefit from writing a very small application to explore the java.io.File class and its methods. Then you can easily see which methods return a path to a class, which methods return the file name, which methods return a list of all the files in that subdirectory, etc.

Once you know how to get the path to your *.au file, you will have no problem to insert it into your database.

But I'm not going to just give you a line of code.
