Hi, I am new here and I have question which might seem a little easy. I am writting a program which reads in a text file and the user needs to supply the name of that text file. How do I do that? Here is some code that might help. Thanks. final static String FIRST_FILE = "the_open_window.txt"; public static void main (String [] args) { try { Reader r = new BufferedReader (new FileReader(FIRST_FILE));

Hi Arthur, So if the name of your application is ReadSomeFile then the user might open start the application like: java ReadSomeFile foo.txt and the application should attempt to open the file named foo.txt in the current directory. Hope this helps, Michael Morris
