Hi,

I have a really basic question...

Could someone please post some java sample code to show how to prompt the user to find which file to open. Then it will return the string path to the file so that I could use it to open a FileReader object.

Thank you in advance.

Code:
	public void getInputFile() {
		File inputFile = null;
		
		FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(parameterWindow, "Please Select An Input File", FileDialog.LOAD);
		fd.setVisible(true);
		
		try {
			inputFile = new File(fd.getDirectory(), fd.getFile());		
		} catch (NullPointerException npe) { 
			// inputFile = null;
		} // if user cancels dialog		
	}
