FileNotFoundException with BufferedReader

[Leon Glass]

Firstly I apologise for asking this as I feel I should be able to sort this but I can't seem to figure out what is wrong here. I have this code:

try
        {
            BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/home/lg/results.txt"));
            String line = null;
            while((line = r.readLine()) != null)
            {
                System.out.println(line);
            }
            
        }
        catch(IOException ioe){System.out.println(ioe);}

and I am getting the output:

java.io.FileNotFoundException:  (No such file or directory)

I have checked the path and the file is there, I have checked the permissions and changed them so that all users have complete access to this file. I have added a screenshot of the file in its directory. I am using NetBeans on Ubuntu if this makes any difference. Please show me the basic mistake I am making here.

[edit] - It seems the problem is with NetBeans as I have just tried it in Eclipse and it works as expected. Has anyone else ever experienced this.

Do you run netbeans (and your program) as lg user, or as someone else ?

Open the console and run this command:

ls -l /home/lg/results.txt

What is the output? Is this file exists ?
