Trying to open a file using the Java.io.File.File(String Pathname) function

 
String filename = "C:\data\sample.txt";
if (!new File(filename)).exists())

it works fine and the file is found (and exists)
but if I write

 
String filename = "sample.txt";

I can’t file which directory I need to copy sample.txt to for it to work.
I tried adding it as a resource with and without linking it to an existing file but could not get it to work.
Please Help

Hello,

This is the Spring forum, so I’ll move your thread to the general development forum. You may also find your answer in a forum like Java Ranch or the File doc itself: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/File.html?is-external=true

Kind regards,
Dave
