When I try and write to a text file I get a permission error,

 

Has anyone got working code for read/writing text files?

 

My code:

 

import java.io.File;  // Import the File class
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;  // Import this class to handle errors
import java.util.Scanner; // Import the Scanner class to read text files

public class ReadFile {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      File myObj = new File("filename.txt");
      Scanner myReader = new Scanner(myObj);
      while (myReader.hasNextLine()) {
        String data = myReader.nextLine();
        System.out.println(data);
      }
      myReader.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
      System.out.println("An error occurred.");
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

OSBot has certain security restrictions, such as the fact that you can't read or write files outside the OSBot Data folder (C:\Users\YourName\OSBot\Data).

Try the code inside this folder, it should probably work.

You can use getDirectoryData() method to retrieve the path to the data folder, so that if you, or someone else has a different install location it will retrieve the correct path.
