Answer 1

 "C:\Workspace\conf.txt"

Those are escape sequences. You probably meant:

 "C:\\Workspace\\conf.txt"

You also appear to call it config.txt in one snippet and conf.txt in the other?

Answer 2

On this line:

input = RandomAccessFile("C:\Workspace\conf.txt",'r');

You need to escape the \'s

input = RandomAccessFile("C:\\Workspace\\conf.txt",'r');

Answer 3

You have to escape the backslash.

input = RandomAccessFile("C:\\Workspace\\conf.txt",'r');

and also

 input = new RandomAccessFile("C:\\Workspace\\conf.txt",'r');

and why you have two different filename conf.txt and config.txt.

Answer 4

Make sure the java process has permissions to read the file.
