what do you mean by call ? what exactly you want?

You do not call text files.

opening a text document in with a java program, like the ReadMe files

That makes no sense at all. There is no point to opening a file and not reading/writing to it as you have stated that you do not want to do. So you need to explain what it is that you do want to do, what it is that you have tried and where you are stuck.

"Here text file, here boy". What exactly do you mean by call? Do you mean open a file?

You forgot to whistle... :-)

Indeed. How do you spell that though?

[no name] 7-Mar-13 10:21am

Personally I spell that.... ready for this? "t h a t" :-) But seriously.... I thought there was a whistling icon around here somewhere like :whistle: or something like that.

If you meant 'calling' as to represent text file as an object. You can use File object which can extract meta-data of your text file. And/Or you can create your own object that represent the data that you need.

If you meant 'calling' as to represent text file in GUI. you will need to create View for your file for the front-end and Object that represent your file on the back-end. Note that this could be more complex as if you want to apply design pattern and/or architecture on your program.
