    public static void main (String [] args){
      String input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the file path: ");
    	String file_Name = new String(input); //String("input");
    	int [][] s = new int[9][9];
    	try{
    		File q = new File(file_Name);
    		Scanner fin = new Scanner(q);
    		 for(int r = 0; r < s.length; ++r){
    		   for(int c = 0; c < s[r].length; ++c){
    		     s[r][c] = fin.nextInt();
    			 }

    want it to print the entire 9 by 9 text file that it reads.
    Please copy the full output from the program and paste it here. Add some comments to the post describing what is wrong with the output and show what you want the output to look like.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    System.out.println(s);

    You can't print the 2d array with such a simple statement. You need a loop.

    How come you are using ++c (preincrement)) and not c++ ?

    BTW, the puzzle cannot be solved. It isn't valid!

    This code reads the attached file "sudoku.txt". Then it is supposed to print everything in the txt file to the console. as of now it prints this:
    0
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8


    it should print:
    9 8 3 1 0 0 9 0 6
    6 0 0 9 0 6 8 0 0
    6 7 0 0 0 8 5 1 2
    6 4 7 0 0 0 3 0 0
    5 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 1
    4 0 8 0 0 0 7 4 0
    3 1 2 5 0 0 8 9 0
    2 0 5 4 0 7 1 0 0
    8 0 6 0 0 1 0 5 9


    --- Update ---

    i know the puzzle cant be solved this is just a project it will in time tell me that it is not valid, but as of now im just trying to get it to return the entire puzzle as it is in the txt file.

    To print several rows of data with each row having several columns, use nested loops.
    The outer loop goes over the rows.
    The inner loop goes over the columns
    print each column's value on the current line
    at the end of the columns, use println() to move the output to the next line
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
