    Default How to read a file in java.

    Hi All,

    I am using Eclipse for java. I have to read a file. Here is my code.

    The below code is in a ButtonHelper.java class:

    public static String ClickButton(String locator){
    try {
    driver.findElement(By.xpath(locator)).click();
    }catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    return "Fail - Click Button Not Found";
    }
    return "Pass";
    }

    In the above code, I have to read the locator from the another file called OR properties file. So how can I do that.

    Help me guys.

    Regards,
    Sudheer

    1)Place [code=java] before your code and [/code] after your code.
    2)Read over the FileReader class.
    3)Once you familiarize yourself with that, try using the BufferedReader class.

    Also you need to post the definitions for all the variables used in the posted code.
    For example what is driver? Or By?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
