Thanks,

Hey pavan try this..

try {
			FileConnection con = (FileConnection) javax.microedition.io.Connector.open("file:///SDCarc/blackberry/");
			if(con.exists())
			{
				InputStream input = con.openInputStream();
				StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
				while(input.read() != -1)
				{
					buffer.append(input.read());
				}
				System.out.println("OutPut"+buffer.toString());
			}
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

by the way where r u frm?

I'm trying to do something similar, and I have code that is almost identical (by the way, you have a typo - SDCarc -> SDCard).

I am getting an error on the (FileConnection)Connector.open() line - but I can't find the stacktrace on the simulator to see what it is. Every other attempt to track this error has failed. Do you know how to find the stacktrace on the simulator?

Also, do you know what the likely cause of errors here are? I assume it's not "file not found", otherwise your coding would make no sense (you have if(con.exists()) right after that line).

OK, I think I am getting it to work, now I just need to wrestle with getting my file in the right place. Is there anyway to access my application's directory? I can open an HTML file located at "local:///res/test.html", but can I open a text file in this location? I keep getting File System errors when I try.

You cannot "open" a file that is in your distribution COD. For this you need to utilize Class.getResourceAsStream(String resourceName)

thanks Doug, that is exactly what I was looking for.
