title: How to read input from a file in a java project using netbeans 7.2 on fedora?
body: <p>the file is aa.txt in the directory <code>/home/user</code>
  the code I wrote is  </p>
  
  <pre><code>input=new FileInputStream("//home//user//aa.txt");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but the program can not open the file. when I run it on windows, it works
  what is the format of the path in fedora to be read correctly by the program???</p>
