How to access .txt file in the Project folder or src?

[althtu 0]

When I'm just compiling and building a project in IntelliJ I can add a text file to my Project and then access it at the following path

Path inputDataPath = Paths.get("src","ItemIds.txt");
System.out.println(inputDataPath.toString());

But when I try accessing at that path for my bot script (which also has the file) I end up with a FileNotFoundException.

java.io.FileNotFoundException: src\ItemIds.txt (The system cannot find the path specified)

So, my question is - How can I add and access a data file from my bot scripts?

Just to clarify, I just want the path to the data file. I'm thinking it could be the following

Paths.get(System.getProperty("user.dir"),"Scripts","MyScriptName","ItemIds.txt")

which assumes you can get into MyScriptName.jar by Scripts/MyScriptName/ItemIds.txt.

After a bit of looking around, I found a good answer on StackOverflow.

You can add the file to your project as normal but because its being built as a jar file you can't just read it like a regular text file. Based on Drew MacInnis' post on Stackoverflow, I was able to read the .txt file as follows:

    public List<Integer> readJarResource(String filename) {
        List<Integer> itemIds = new ArrayList<>();

        try (InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename);
             BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in))) {
            while (reader.ready()) {
                String data = reader.readLine();
                itemIds.add(Integer.parseInt(data));
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println(itemIds);
        return itemIds;
    }

Happy days.
