java programming in eclipse

any java programmers using eclipse in here? if so, do u know how to pipe an input file into it for testing purposes? i cant seem to figure out how to and google is sucking at helping (

I have tried to figure it out for the longest time. I just use the prompt and do it the old fasion way ( Sorry I couldn't help, but at least you know you aren't the only one, lol

heh damn

I <3 eclipse for java programming. What do you mean by pipe? Just place the file(s) into the workspace folder in eclipse and it should show up.

Do you mean how do you read a file from a program in java? Because that is not a eclipse specific question. With eclipse though you can easily make a file in the root directly by creating a new file just like a new class.

To read a file from something you can use functions like File(Something) it should be in the java help documentation and really easy to find. I have not programmed in java in a year or so D.

echo "someinput" > foo
java yourClass < foo

by pipe i mean what admin wrote. ive got my file (with about 7 million lines of code heh...literally) and i need to pipe it in so that it reads a line at a time and deals with it and such. so the input comes from standard in, not from reading a file. ud think theyd have a way to let u do this boo (

The way Admin wrote should work. Are you reading from directly from System.in or wrapping System.in in an InputStreamReader or BufferedReader?

i know it will work...and i can do that fine from command prompt but im trying to do it inside eclipse because i love their debugging. and its a bufferedReader
