Trying to read a file from URL using URL class and url.openStream().
The code:
try {
URL url = new URL("http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/pocket.txt");
Scanner s = new Scanner(url.openStream());
// read from your scanner
}
catch(IOException ex) {
// there was some connection problem, or the file did not exist on the server,
// or your URL was not in the right format.
// think about what to do now, and put it here.
ex.printStackTrace(); // for now, simply output it.
}
I get an error saying: The method openStream iusundefined for the DocFlavor.URL.
What I tried:
The IDE suggest to change cast which I did whihc results in:
URL url = new URL("http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/pocket.txt");
Scanner s = new Scanner(((Object) url).openStream());
// read from your scanner
Still the same error.I also have tried changing Object to URL:
URL url = new URL("http://www.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/pocket.txt");
Scanner s = new Scanner(((URL) url).openStream());
// read from your scanner
Please assitst and thank you!
