Thanks, but i'm looking for a way to do this without extra typing at the command line
so just when i type java Test <input.txt

Hi,

When i'm calling a program, for example java Test <input.txt
i'd like to get the name of the file, in this example input.txt
How should i do this? I'm making a new DataInputStream(System.in), but I have no idea how I can get the name of the inputfile (because you also can't acces it in the args array of the mainmethod).
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Clifton Craig. As I expected there's no easy solution, but what you described is exactly what I need. I will try your first approach first. I already have something similar in my program, using piped input/outputstream to turn an outputstream to an inputstream, but I was wondering if there wasn't an easy solution.

Thanks for your reply.

I have an Inputstream, more exactly a FileInputStream. I need to zip this stream, but the result has to be an inputstream also.

(the file has to be send by network, that's why I want to zip it, so the program has to send less bytes).

I hope you will understand my question better now?

Hi,

I've got an inputstream which I want to zip. But the results has to be an inputstream also. Is this possible?
Because if I understood some tutorials correctly, you will get an outputstream if you zip an inputstream (for example: a file).

Thanks in advance.
