I am a new eclipse coder.
I need help with writing a special code.
I want eclipse to find a saved file on my computer and open it.
I do know how to do it with command prompt...

cd "filename"
cd ..
cd \
dir

Can anyone help me with this?
I would really appreciate it Very Happy

August,

I have no idea what such a sequence of commands on the command prompt is
supposed to do. Usually to you cd to a directory, not to a file nane.
Then you move up one level. And then you move to the root, which seems
to make the other steps pointless. Then you ask for a listing of all
the file in the current directory (the root). What language are you
wanting to writing your code in?

I showed examples of some codes that I knew how to do with cmd. If I were to tell you what I wanted to find with cmd I would do something like this:

cd %appdata%
cd .minecraft
cd bin

And so forth...

August,

There's File -> Open File... But it sounds like you'd like to do
something like that programmatically though when I asked in what
language, you didn't answer that question...
