How do you get a program to read an input file?

I have a problem where i need my program to read an input file and the name of the input file should be read as a command line argument. How in the world do I do this?? I do not have the slightest idea how to get that done? Please help!!

The command line arguments are stored in the String[] args passed in from the main function.
To use the argument as a file name, you can create a FileInputStream. To make it easier to read, you can then put the FileInputStream into a BufferedReader to read line by line. For example:
public static void main(String[] args) {
   FileInputStream fileIn;
   BufferedReader reader;
   try {
      fileIn = new FileInputStream(args[0]);
   catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
      System.err.println("could not find file " + args[0]);
   reader = new BufferedReader(fileIn);   You may now use reader.readLine() to read each line from the file. I hope this helps!

Cant Get My Program to Read a Text File

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Calculator
    public static void main (String[] args)
        final String filepath = "calculator.txt";
        int a, b, x;
        String command;
        Scanner fileScan = new Scanner(new File(filepath));
        while (fileScan.hasNext())
            command = fileScan.nextLine();
            System.out.println(command);
}Thats the code I have so far. I have an input file called "calculator.txt" which I made in notepad then copy/pasted into the same folder that this Calculator.java file is located. The build fails and sends this error:
unreported exception java.io.FileNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
What am I doing wrong that it cant read the file?

"Exceptions" are written about and described in any Java book and they all contain plenty of example.
Your code shows no attempt whatsoever to handle an Exception. So the original answer assumed you didnt' know what an Exception was and gave you a resource to read.
It you would spend the time reading your text or the tutorial given instead of wasting time with these ridiculous comments you would have had your answer by now.
We don't have time to write a personal explanation about what an Exception is. We would only be duplicating what is in the book and tutorial.
On the other hand if your code acutally contained some code that resembled an attempt to catch an Exception, then you might have been given more specific help. If you don't understand that concept then you will have trouble getting answers in the forum.
Did you even search the forum to see if any other posting had a question about that Exception?

How do you get rid of Acrobat Reader? It just keeps coming back.

So, I have Adober Reader 10.1.12 installed on my machine. I've tried three times now, even used the uninstaller app provided by Adobe and Adobe Updater just keeps downloading it again. It doesn't bother asking to do this... It doesn't even say it's doing anything until the deed is done. Then I have to restart just to uninstall Reader again which I might say is a little frustrating and of course 'Adobe Updater' doesn't exist in the Uninstall list as anything I recognize.
So since my options have been tucked away in some hidden and arcane menu or config file... I suppose I need a hand finding them.

Windows 7 64 with current service pack. And... That's what's weird. I don't find a folder even when searching but the updater keeps reporting that it's installed something. Hold on, I'll restart it again and see what it says.
Restarted: Still no Reader folder and it's not resetting my current default .pdf program. It's also still not in my uninstall list now... so maybe it's just Updater being crazy? Is there any way to uninstall that then? Thanks, by the way.

How can you get Belkin Media Card Reader to work with Fifth Gen iPod?

I got a new 80Gb iPod and then discovered my Belkin Card Reader I've used extensively with my 4th Gen iPod, no longer works with the new one. I easily transferred photo albums on my PC to the new iPod but the Belkin Reader is "not recognized" by the new one.
This is a MAJOR disappointment to me as we travel a lot and I've used my iPod all over the world for photo storage. I had about 15Gb of photos on my older 40 Gb iPod before I transferred them off and got the new one.
Is there any other portable card reader that will work with the 5th Gen iPod's?

How do I get Windows 8 to read the .7z file that downloads with the Photoshop Elements 12 installer?

I just downloaded Photoshop Elements 12 and it downloaded just fine, but when I tried to install it, I keep getting a message that says "The file archive part of adobe is missing" but they're both on the same folder and it seems that Windows won't recognize it or won't read it

you need to download the matching exe file, too. put both in the same directory and click (or double click) the exe.

How do you get URL hyperlinks to work in SWF files?

I have exported an InDesign
file to SWF and all the interactive elements work fine apart from my hyperlinks to websites. I have searched the forums and have figured out how to get this to work by changing the server setting on my machine. The problem is I am looking to email this publication to people and it is unrealistic for me to ask everyone to change their server settings every time. Surely there must be a simple way to get hyperlinks to work in SWF files??

I´m afraid there´s not... it´s flash players security setting. And security setting that anybody can workaround is not a good security setting... you just have to live with it....
Put your SWF to server and attach a link to it into your email message.... all hyperlinks works if SWF is in the server.

How do you get the root folder to recognize updated file in nested folder?

I believe in OS 9, a modified file nested in a folder would trigger the root folder to recognize and update to the top of the "date modified" column. As long as I've used the Mac (20 years) I've used the "date modified" to force my current client folders to the top of the column. Lately, I have many nested folders in the root client folder. When I make changes to a file in a nested folder, OS X doesn't make the root folder recognize changes within a nested folder. I realize there is not likely to be a fix for this in OS X, as Apple probably deems this behavior to be proper (I do not,) so my question would be expanded to include suggestions for third party software that may accomplish this.

Sorry, posted that last post and ran out of time while editing it. It should read like this:
"Yes, if you ADD a new item or folder to a folder, it updates the root folder, but if you simply MODIFY a file (like Photoshop) within a subfolder, the root folder WILL NOT update the date modified. Check it out."
Actually, whether the directory that a file is re-saved in will be modified or not can depend on the application in question and how it saves files.
Let's say a folder has a single file in it. The modification date of the folder will be the last time a change was made to the directory, either by adding or removing an item from it. (This can include the invisible .DS_Store file in which the Finder saves view settings for a folder, which can often be written without you're realizing it unless you have the Finder show all files like I do).
Then, let's say you open that file, which is a stream of bytes, in an application. You make some changes which alters the representation of the stream of bytes in RAM. The application then saves the changes to the file by filling it with the stream bytes as they now are in RAM. Modifying the contents of a file in this manner does not alter the directory that it's in. The modified date of the folder should remain unchanged.
Some applications use a different method than above to save files, however. Let's say that theoretically while the application is re-writing to the original file during a save, the power goes out and your computer shuts down. There's a good chance that the document that was being saved is now corrupt. A safer method that some applications use, is to first write out the information to a new file in the same directory as the original file, then delete the original file, and then rename the new file so that it has the same attributes as the old file. This method will, of course, modify the directory that the original file was in by adding and removing a file.

How do you get a jar out of Internet temp files to decompile. Is Malware.

Using Chrome, I was going to www.semiaccurate.com daily. Today Chrome intercepts with warning page. Me being dumb ass went ahead anyway. My Java console popped up, and I immediately alt-F4 ed, and restarted. Found 1.jar from www.ejdueyhs.com/1.jar in my temp files. Is it possible to get this as an actual file, so I could decompile?
Jeff Palmer
FYI, I sent note to [email protected], and it did not get returned, but who knows if some will actually look at it.

If you go into the Windows Java control panel, and show temporary internet files, then select resources. It showed a 1.jar as a resource, but a search of the whole C drive found no such file. It must be being renamed. For me that was only a speed bump, since the control panel also listed the URI. I just re-got it myself. I am good now.
Thanks

I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.

I added a program but somnehow ended up with "searchqu" as my search engine, how do you get rid of it?

I added a program that somehow put the search engine "searchqu" on my computer. How do you get rid of it? I looked up in the web engines and it is not listed. A blog board I read says it is coming through google chrome that it has to be uninstalled... any ideas?

Searchqu gets installed if you don't opt-out of the installation when you install a 'free' app from bandoo.com which provides free emoticons.
If you have this app on your system now, uninstall it first, otherwise searchqu will reappear again after you complete the following steps. 
To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following. 
#In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= 
#In the filter at the top again, copy/paste the following (remove keyword.URL first): '''browser.startup.homepage''' 
#Right click it, choose '''Modify '''and then click '''Reset'''. 
#Close the tab. 
#Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and remove these add-ons if they're in there: '''Windows iLivid Toolbar '''and '''SearchquToolbar '''. 
#Next, open Windows Explorer and navigate to '''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins'''. In there, delete the following: '''SearchquWebSearch.xml''' 
#Go to Add/Remove Programs and look for '''Windows iLivid Toolbar '''and '''SearchquToolbar '''again. Remove if found. You might possibly find a reference to "Web Search" (searchqu) in Add/Remove Programs too. If so, remove it. 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
Next, open a Command Prompt (Run As Administrator) and type the following: '''regsvr32 /u searchqudtx.dll''' and hit Enter. If you get an error message, you'll have to enter the full path. Do a Windows search for '''WI3C8A '''and then right click it and choose Open Containing Folder, or Open File Location. Then make a note of the full path.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

You have created a link to another part of your book but how do you get the reader back to the original page?

Using iBooks Author to make a book you have created a link to another part of your book but how do you get the reader back to the original page?

Asking me to be verbore is a dangerous thing :-)
When you eneter information into iTunes Producer for uploading, the info must match what is in the internal metadata. In this case, the book is called Mississippi, but in iTunes Producer it is spelled Misssissippi. There is an extra "s". This will cause an error.

How do you get it to read your email back to you

I saw in an ad that it asked SIRI to read its email. How do you get it to read exchange email

Siri, currently, can't read emails back to you. However, if you turn VoiceOver on, Siri can then read any text that is displayed on the screen in responses from Siri, like the body of an email.
