So i'm trying to input a file with a Scanner and when my program gets to the part where its supposed to open the file, it shows the package (or location) of the file instead of opening it. Anyone know why this may be happening?

Can you post some code? Reading text from a file is relatively simple, here's an example.


Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("filepath/filename"));
// To read in a line..
input.nextLine();


Obviously there's different and more elegant ways to do this kind of stuff too, but this is the most simple representation of reading data from a file.
