Reading a File and diplaying in a TextField

Question

hi,
i tried with this coding to a read line from a text file and diplay it in a text field.but this code is not working.
try
java.io.File f1=new java.io.File(sample.txt);
java.io.FileReader f2=new java.io.FileReader(f1);
java.io.BufferedReader br=new java.io.BufferedReader(f2);
java.lang.String par;
par=br.readLine();
jTextField2.setText(par);
br.close();
catch(java.io.IOException e){
jLabel4.setText("Error"+e);
can any one help me to make it work.

Answer 1

Also the initialisation of f1 looks dodgy: do you mean sample.txt or
"sample.txt"?
Do check the file to see that it has some content. And when you assign
the string to par, output it to check you are reading what you think you
are reading:par = br.readLine();
System.out.println("Input line: " + par);
