I'm following along the Basic I/O Tutorial on Oracle.com, but I'm having difficulty making a Path object:
Path p1 = Paths.get("/tmp/foo");
Which gives the error:
error: The method get(URI) in the type Paths is not applicable for the arguments (String).
I'm on Linux and I'm working in Eclipse Kepler. I'm trying to access a text file in the current directory. Using Scanner and File I can work with the file, but I'd also like to fiddle around with a path to the file so I can continue with the tutorial.
edit: The entirety of the program is below. The second half is me being a rookie and confirming the file exists/works. When I comment out the Path definitions, I get the output of "Test" which is in the 'save.txt' file.:
package projectSARA;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.URI;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String saveFile = "save.txt";
Path p1 = Paths.get(saveFile);
Path p2 = Paths.get("save.txt");
File file = new File(saveFile);
try{
Scanner in = new Scanner(file);
String test = in.next();
System.out.println(test);
}
catch(FileNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("File not found");
}
}// end main
}
Additional: I've asked this question before, and was asked for edits. I added in the edits, waited a few days, but no more responses. Am I supposed to refresh it somehow, or contact the authors of the comments? I'm very new to Stack Exchange, but appreciate everyone's efforts immensely.
