Trying to read file but not finding the path?

Question

Question/Answer Read a file in groovy into a string is simple, except I get a FileNotFound exception no matter where I move the file, e.g. even to the root directory on a linux box.

If I do:

 String cpni = new File('/cpni_p').text

and the file cpni_p resides right in the root directory of the system (i.e. make it as simple as possible), I get a

 FileNotFoundException: \cpni_p (the system cannot find the file specified)

How do I fix this? I'm open to direct Java too -- just want to get it to work.

Yes, -rw-r--r-- are the permissions, for owner, group, world. I can get it to work on DOS fine with no errors -- just one line -- but doesn't work on Linux for ? reason. — Ray

my guess is, that you are leaving something out here. the error shows \... - i doubt any unix would change to a backslash. — cfrick

There was a directory level privilege problem.
