[Jython-users] Reading in a file

[Mike H. <mh...@gm...>]

I want to be able to read in a file and output it to a graphical
window. I tried this:

def read():
         in_file = open("test", "r")
         data = in_file
         in_file.close()
         swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(None, data)

It results in:

<closed file 'test', mode 'r' 1>

Can somebody point me in the right direction as to how to display this
data? Here's a sample of 'test':


2008-11-28 22:26:41.404370
Testing


And that would be followed by more dates and text entries.

Thanks for any assistance,
