How about:

   
File twoSuper = new File(sup.getName());
 
//or
 
File fileSuper1 = new File(sup.getName());

i still cant get the ouput...
It compiles...
Is there anything wrong, do i miss any declarations.....?

[Tom Sullivan]

I usually write it as follows:

   
 
String line = br.readLine();
 
while(line != null) {
 
System.out.println(line);
 
line = br.readLine();
 
}

thanks Mr.tom'

i just modified i bit...
the sup.getname() just gets me the name of the class...
i suppose we would need to give .java at the end so...
[code]
String lined = "";
Class sup = cls.getSuperclass();
if(!(sup.getName().indexOf("java.lang.Object")>-1))
{
twoSuper = (sup.getName()+".java");
File fileSuper1 = new File (twoSuper);
try {
br1 = new BufferedReader (new FileReader(fileSuper1));
while ((lined = br1.readLine()) != null)
{

System.out.println(" the new file\t"+ lined + "\n");
}

} catch (IOException e){}
[\code]
