macOS referencing a file in java

[greatm31]

Okay so I wrote a program over a year ago on a PC in java that I want to use on my nice new Powerbook. I've got it all loaded into XCode, but there's just one teeny little line that won't work. I'm trying to load a txt file filled with a bunch of numbers into a File object with this line:

File periods = new File("...");

Where, at least on Windows, the "..." was the file path to the text file "periods.txt." I don't know how to describe the file path on a mac. The file is in the same folder as all the .java files. What should I do? Thanks.

Im not 100% positive but you might want to try something like this

/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Periods Folder/Periods.txt

Ill look into it more when I get home to my comp.

Is it in the same dir as your .class files? Or the CWD when you invoke the JVM?

Sort of...You should use File.separator instead of the "/" if you want it to be cross platform. Check out the documentation on the File class too.
