Thread: Can someone explain why the FILENOTFOUNDEXCEPTION keeps beign thrown?

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class TreeDriver {
 
	public static void main(String [] args) {
 
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 
		Tree test = new Tree();
 
	String label ;
 
		String prompt;
 
		String message;
 
		String filename = "sample.txt";
 
 
 
 
		Tree family = new Tree();
 
 
				try {
 
					input= new Scanner(new File(filename));  
 
					while(input.hasNextLine()){
 
					label = input.nextLine();
 
					prompt = input.nextLine();
 
					message = input.nextLine();
 
					family.root = new TreeNode(label,prompt,message);	
 
					family.addNode(label, prompt, message, label);
 
					}
 
					input.close();
 
					} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
					// TODO Auto-generated catch block
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
 
 
 
 
	}
	}

I made sure the file and the class are in the same project but no matter what I do, it keeps throwing that exception. Please help I as soon as you can b/c this is part of an hw assignment

I didn't misspell it. So how do I put the file in its correct location?

I tried you suggestions and although I didn't run into any exceptions, when I tried to print info from the file, I received info that I didn't even put on the file. Can I get help resolving this issue?

Put the file in the same folder as the class source file

Off Topic: That while loop looks unsafe. Verify a line exists, then attempt to take three...

cbplayer,
can you post the contents of "sample.txt" file and the screen output you have got?

Hello.
Are you using any IDE? Or are you doing it on the console?
