Hello,
I want to read a file from the current directory.

I did :
BufferedReader myFile = null;
myFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("myfile.txt"));

myfile.txt is in the current directory.
after the above code, I get the exception, that the file cannot be openned
(because it is not found).

How can I enforce reading from the current directory ?

Thanks :)

Try looking at the Java Developers Almanac for the IO or NIO packages:

The "current directory" is a slippery notion. It can change depending on
how your app is invoked. You're better off reading the file from a
fixed, known location, for example, a directory which is relative to the
home directory for your app. At start up, determine the home directory,
and then do everything relative to that anchor.
