Parser as main file?

Question

I am trying to write a big system that inputs data from a text file, and has a parser file. So, do I have to write a main file that would call the parser, and if so, how would I call the parser file, just code it like this?

Parser parser = new Parser(); 

If not, what would be my options???? Thank you for your help :) FOR the parser how would I specify the text file to be read on the command line. I have a

public static void main (String[] commandLineArgs)

how would I write a specific text file in this statement???? Would i replace the commandLineArgs? I forgot about this.

Answer 1

YourClass YourFile; // Need to fully qualified class name and full path for the file.

EDIT : If I understand correctly, you need something like this :

public class Parser {

    public void parseFile (String file) {
       // parsing code goes here.
    }
    public static void main (String[] commandLineArgs) {
         Parser parser = new Parser();
         parser.parseFile(commandLineArgs[0]);   //  
    }

}
