Did you enter the exact location? – ImAtWar Jan 08 '16 at 06:10

@ImAtWar i don't want to use absolute path, it's working with Absolute path, i want to use relative path – Girdhar Singh Rathore Jan 08 '16 at 06:11

Shouldnt you declarate it as a file first? `File xanadu = new File("xanadu.txt");` – ImAtWar Jan 08 '16 at 06:12

i want to use FileInputStream class only – Girdhar Singh Rathore Jan 08 '16 at 06:14

The file class loads multiple parameters which are needed for the file input stream – ImAtWar Jan 08 '16 at 06:15

but why is not working, what is wrong with this code, i don't want to go for alternate approach, i just want get rid of exception just to modify same class constructor. May be i am giving the wrong path for relative path, you know how to give relative path for this one? – Girdhar Singh Rathore Jan 08 '16 at 06:18

Either you have to use absolute path or put you text file in root folder. In your case put your txt file in BasicIO.

Have you tried this? FileInputStream("hello.txt"), doesn't work unless I specify an absolute path (C:\User\Documents etc) Instantiate a File object with relative path ./name.txt e.g.:
File file = new File("./myfile.txt");
Make sure myfile.txt is in the root project folder.
