IntelliJ - Take standard input from a file

Question

I need to take standard input from a file in IntelliJ IDEA.

$ java BinarySearch tinyW.txt < tinyT.txt 

'tinyT.txt' is the file which is to be taken as standard input. 'tinyW.txt' is another file which is passed as a command-line argument to the program.

How can this be achieved through IntelliJ?

PS: I am not running this program from the command-line as the class-path variable hasn't been set, and I am using functions from external libraries.

You need to create a "Run/Debug Configuration" (Menu "Run" -> "Edit Configurations...").

About halfway down in the configuration panel is an entry "Redirect input from" with a checkbox before it. After selecting the checkbox you can select the file "tinyT.txt".

"tinyW.txt" has to be entered into the field "Program arguments"
