java get current file content


I created a new extension with jnlp - I used the association tag. after clicking a file with the special extension, It's open the program. How the program can get the content of the file?


Solution

  • The file services demo. has a complete example of declaring the .zzz extension.

    Basically the file name is passed as a String in the arguments to the main(String[]) method. The arguments is preceded by a string with either open or print.

    Once the code has the file name, create a File and load it as you might load any other file.
