ini4j accessing files else where and reading

Question

Let me start off by saying I know some C programming and have never touched java before. (took me a bit to get maven to function). I have an .ini file stored in Appdata -> roaming -> testfolder -> file.ini the sections are handled like this

[#mishap.username]
Data=#

[#mishap.username2]
Data=#

string sender has the username stored when called by that specific user.

So my question is how do I go about accessing an ini file in that directory path outside of the program? I can't even test to see if I can use the string as part of the section until I have this sorted. Again sorry if this is basic, every tutorial I have looked at shows the ini file being accessed locally and I have tried to include file path with crashes during compile. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Use an absolute path.
File file = new File("C:/Users/someuser/AppData/Roaming/somefilder/somefile.ext");
