Question

Write a program that will make a copy of a text file, line by line. Read the name of the existing file and name of the new file(copy) from the keyboard. Use the methods of the class File to test whether the original file exists and can be read. If not, display an error message and abort the program. Similarly, see whether the name of the new file already exists. If so display a warning message and allow the user to either abort the program, overwrite the file, or enter a new name for the file.

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the text file, use a full path name when entering the file name, such as

C:\textfiles\StateCapitals.txt

You can save typing in the full path name by putting the file in the project directory, such as in

C:\Users\me\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Project4
