Scanner and reading from a file

Question

i have to parse a text file using the Scanner, I know how to use the delimiter to parse the text, but i don't know how to make my program accept a file.txt as an input and then to start chopping it off. Can anyone help me with this? Tnx in advance!

Answer 1

Look at the Scanner API. It has a constructor that will accept a File parameter. Use it.

String fileName = "fileName.txt";
File file = new File(fileName);
Scanner fileScanner = new Scanner(file);
