文件存在时发生FileNotFoundException

Question

I am getting a FileNotFoundException. But the file exists.

Below is the code:

 try {
         FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("conf/sampleprop.conf");
         Properties prop = new Properties();
         prop.load(fis);
         String file = prop.getProperty("FILE");
         System.out.println("File : " + file);



         BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
         String line = null;
         while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
           System.out.println(line);
         }
     } catch (Exception e) {
         // TODO Auto-generated catch block
         e.printStackTrace();
     }

and the output is:

File : "C:\Chithra\Contacts.txt"
java.io.FileNotFoundException: "C:\Chithra\Contacts.txt" (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.io.FileReader.<init>(Unknown Source)
at PropertiesTest.main(PropertiesTest.java:32)

But the file actually exits, Can anyone help please

Answer 1

Maybe you don't have the permission to read this file. See this post:

Get FileNotFoundException when initialising FileInputStream with File object

Answer 2

Try to set the file name to be "C:/Chithra/Contacts.txt"

Do not use "\\" in java, java reads file paths separated with "/"
