I have a problem in here. Whenever I entered the directory path that I copy from my computer to input a txt file to my program, it always said that the file is not found. Is there something wrong from my code?

System.out.println("insert directory file = ");

FileReader file = null;

try {

    file = new FileReader(input.next());                

    BufferedReader readfile = new BufferedReader(file);              

    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

    try {

        while ((text = readfile.readLine()) != null) {

            sb.append(text);

            sb.append("n");

        }

        readfile.close();

    } catch (IOException e) {

        // TODO Auto-generated catch block

        e.printStackTrace();

    }

    text = sb.toString();

    //System.out.println(text);

    System.out.println("Data entered");

    System.out.println("Data length = "+text.length()+"n");

} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {

            // TODO Auto-generated catch block

    System.out.println("File not found. Pease insert the proper file directory.n");

}

Your code segment run just fine in my laptop. So the problem maybe here :

file = new FileReader(input.next());

Did you use your Scanner for other input before read the path? Trying changing it to

String path = input.next();

file = new FileReader(path);

And print the path when error occur to see what actually was passed to your FileReader.

catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {

    System.out.println("File not found. Pease insert the proper file directory.n");

    System.out.println("Your input path: " + path);

}

Here is the working code on my machine :

public static void main(String args) {

  String path = null;

  try (Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in)) {

    System.out.print("Input your option = ");

    int option = input.nextInt();

    switch (option) {

      case 1:

        System.out.println("insert directory file = ");

        String text = "";

        path = input.next();

        FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(path);

        BufferedReader readfile = new BufferedReader(fileReader);

        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

        try {

          while ((text = readfile.readLine()) != null) {

            sb.append(text);

            sb.append("n");

          }

          readfile.close();

        } catch (IOException e) {

          e.printStackTrace();

        }

        text = sb.toString();

        System.out.println("Data entered");

        System.out.println("Data length = " + text.length() + "n");

        break;

      default:

        System.out.println("There is nothing to do.");

        break;

    }

  } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {

    System.out.println("File not found. Pease insert the proper file directory.");

    System.out.println("Your input path is : " + path);

  }

}
