First of all, how can I open and read from a online file in Java, I've tried fopen and it doesn't seem to work...
and maybe if u know of some good downloadable tutorials about java please let me know...

10x, MarMor.

The best way to do it is probably by first creating an URL object and then apply the method openStream to it. The call will return a stream object, from which you can read the contents of the URL.

Example program that prints the yahoo.com root file to StdOut:

<tt><pre>
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class URLReader {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
URL yahoo = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
yahoo.openStream()));

String inputLine;

while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(inputLine);

in.close();
}
}
</pre></tt>

Good (the best?) documentation can be found at http://java.sun.com/docs/?frontpage-javaplatform
