Hello everyone,
I'm working on an assignment that requires the use of the Scanner class to read the source code of the .java file and output all lines when executed. I have created a file that works without issues on my machine, but I was wondering if there was a more robust way to reference the file location. Currently, the code has a static file location that is only true for my system, and I would like it to function regardless of the drive or directory. Any references or ideas are appreciated.

System.out.println(inFile.nextLine());
