Stack (file location)

Hi,

I have this peace of Java code and I would like to know how to change the file location in the code. (only a filename (test.txt) is in the code and I would like to add a path (c:\test.txt).

Code:

---


import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

class StackDemoUsingArrays{       
                static String [] myString = new String[3];       
                static int count = 0;       
               
                public static void main (String args[])        throws Exception {               
                        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader
                        (new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(new File("test.txt")))); // <-- I want to change this       
                        String str = "";               
                while((str = br.readLine()) != null){                       
                        push(str.trim());                }               
                        System.out.println(pop());        }       
                       
                public static String pop(){               
                               
                        if(count<=0) {                       
                        System.out.println("Cannot pop an empty stack");                       
                        System.exit(0);                }               
                        return myString[-- count];        }       
                               
                public static void push(Object o){               
                        if(count == myString.length){                       
                        String [] myString1 = new String[myString.length*2];                       
                        System.arraycopy((Object)myString,0,(Object)myString1,0,myString.length);                       
                        myString = myString1;                }               
                        myString[count] = o.toString();               
                        count++;        }
                        }

would you not just change it to c:\test.txt???

One word of warning. that code would only work on Windows Machines as there is no such thing as c: on unix (can't speak for mac, but its based on unix so i assume its the same)

Yeah wouldn't you just add in the path? I wouldn't hardcode the file name though. File names are seriously platform dependent.
