Hi there,
 Need help and advice on this. I need to write an applet that read data
from a text file and generates a graph.Below are the  2 methods of reading
the file, which failed.

1)
       try{
       URL url;
       URLConnection urlConn;
       url = new URL("http://myhost.com.sg/mytext.txt");
       urlConn = url.openConnection();
       urlConn.setDoInput(true);
       urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
       DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(urlConn.getInputStream());
       String s;
       String[][] tmp = new String[25][50] ;
       int y = 0;
       while ((s=dis.readLine()) != null){
           //System.out.println(i);
           tmp[y] = s.split("\t");
           y++;
       }
       }catch (IOException e) { //do nothing
       }

2)
       try{
       FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
       DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(fis);
       DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(urlConn.getInputStream());
       String s;
       String[][] tmp = new String[25][50] ;
       int y = 0;
       while ((s=dis.readLine()) != null){
           //System.out.println(i);
           tmp[y] = s.split("\t");
           y++;
       }catch (IOException e) { //do nothing
       }
