title: how to read text file relative path
body: <p>I have read sources here &amp; there, but did not get the following code working. Basically, I wish to read a text file, named 'Administrator' from the folder 'src'. I will need a relative path, since this project may be transferred to another person. Please be patient with me.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void staffExists () throws IOException
      {               
          //http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2788080/reading-a-text-file-in-java
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(getClass().getResourceAsStream ("/DBTextFiles/Administrator.txt")));
  
          try
          {               
              String line = null;
              while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
              {
                  if (!(line.startsWith("*")))
                  {
                      System.out.println(line);
                  }
              }
  
          }
          catch (IOException ex)
          {
              ex.printStackTrace();
          }               
  
          finally
          {
              reader.close();
          }           
      }
