I'm trying to read from files in Java, but apparently it fails at detecting if files exist.
Here's a piece of code from it.
[code]InputStream input = new FileInputStream("C:/avatar.png")[/code]
It keeps throwing FileNotFoundExceptions and it annoys me because I'm 100% sure that file exists. What do I do now?!

Try "C:\\avatar.png" just for kicks.
Output what the FileNotFoundException says, it might have something useful.

[code] System.out.println("Hello World!");
InputStream input;
String a = "No error!";
try {
input = new FileInputStream("C:\\avatar.png");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
a = "!!!" + e.getMessage() + "!!!";
}
System.out.println(a);[/code]
Am I doing it wrong? It outputs:
Hello World!
No error!
Seems like it's not throwing any exceptions then? Looks fine.

Unix style /avatar.png works too.
Yeah, you just have to escape the string if you're going to use back slashes.
Hmm, weird language this is :v: It seemed it only threw the exception the first time it loaded the file or something... Thanks for the help!

If you use a IDE such as Netbeans or Eclipse it may take a sec before the file is compiled which results in the old code being used. After you saved the file just wait for the progressbar to finish (takes like 2 secs) to make sure you're running the new code.
