I am using netbeans and I put the file in the src folder for the project with the java files.

Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("loanData.txt")); //provide file name from outside
int counter = 0; //keep track of how many in the file
while(scan.hasNextLine())
{

That worked as well. Thinking on it though I guess it is simplest to have it look on the main drive, unless there is a way to tell the program that the text file is in the same place the program is...

I replaced the "/" with "C://Users/Xrrak" and that did the trick. Thanks again.

If needed, I have also included the code for all for classes and the text file in case anyone needs to run it.

...

Sorry the error is flagged at lines 100 and 105. I followed the same format as the other listeners, like lines 75 through 85. I have tried adding a } but that just made more errors.

This is the full text of the error shown in NetBeans IDE:

illegal start of expression

Illegal static declaration in inner class <anonymous week3.MortgageCalc$1>
modifier 'static' is only...

Thank you for both the indention tip as well as the links!

Sorry I tried editing to show the correct indentations, but it did not work.

I hope this is posted in the correct forum, I have a question about changing my GUI. This is for school so I do not want anyone to write the code for me, but pointing me to a beginners tutorial on...
