You can access a plain text using the File class.
import java.io.File; public class ReadFile { public static void main(String[] args) { File f = null; String str = "data.txt"; try { f = new File(str); boolean bool = f.canExecute(); String a = f.getAbsolutePath(); System.out.print(a); System.out.println(" is executable: "+ bool); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
C:\Users\data is executable: true
