trouble trying to read a file and copy it to another....

[william smythe]

I am working with this piece of code and it compiles fine but when i execute it says " exception in thread "main" Java.io.FileNotFoundException: ToBeCopied.txt (the system cannot find the file specified).....I have created a file with data called ToBeCopied.txt and an empty file called Copied.txt in the same directory as the code, what am i doing wrong???thanks again
import java.io.*;
public class Copy {
public static void main (String [] args) throws IOException {
File inputFile = new File("ToBeCopied.txt");
File outputFile = new File("Copied.txt");
FileReader in = new FileReader(inputFile);
FileWriter out = new FileWriter(outputFile);
int c;
int count = 0;
while((c=in.read())!= -1){
System.out.print(c + " ");
if (count++%10==1)
System.out.println();
out.write(c);
}
in.close();
out.close();
}
}

Hi William,
I can't see any problem in your code.
moreover your code is running fine on my m/c.and is creating copied.txt file without any change.
so again make sure that u r having the file ToBeCopied.txt in place.

William,
when I compiled, it gave a same error message as you received. How did you solve yours? Thanks.

With the way your code is written, ToBeCopied.txt must be in the working directory for your JVM. You can determain this by
System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
This is important if your are runnning this with some IDE's, it's not always the directory you think.
