help with reading a file, cannot instantiate

I am trying to read a plain text file off you the local computer , as far as I know the system is working except for a error I'm getting that I cant seem to get rid of. I haven't see this error before in this setting.

Cannot Instantiate Type File

the line of code that is causing the problem

Code :

---

File inFile = new File(dirPath + foName);

Perhaps you have another, abstract, type called File somewhere.

If so, remove it and import java.io.File (assuming that is the File you mean to use).

Briliant that worked, well that part works now

You're welcome. Good luck with the rest of the program!
