Hey @RIBAMILTOMBEZER, welcome to the community!

Just click the three dots then click “Show hidden files”. Next click on the .replit file and finally you can change the entrypoint to whatever file you want to run.

You can also change the second line from run="run_command_for_lang main.file_type" to run="run_command_for_lang fileIWantToRun.file_type", though it won’t have an effect for interpreted languages as shown in the comment on line 1.

I went straight to files and deleted the ones I didn’t want.
Guess I didn’t read your instructions like I should.

Can you send a link to your Repl?

Oh, Ok! Sure! I’ll do it !

I believe you should be able to restore the file by creating a file with the same name. This should restore its content back.

Hey, java is a bit different from other non-compiled languages, do you should just entirely replace .replit with this:

compile = "javac -classpath .:target/dependency/* -d . $(find . -type f -name '*.java')"
run = "java -classpath .:target/dependency/* ArithmeticOperator"
entrypoint = "ArithmeticOperator.java"
hidden = ["**/*.class"]

[packager]
language = "java"

[packager.features]
packageSearch = true

[languages.java]
pattern = "**/*.java"

[languages.java.languageServer]
start = "jdt-language-server"

[unitTest]
language = "java"

[nix]
channel = "stable-22_11"

[debugger]
support = true

[debugger.compile]
command = "javac -classpath .:/run_dir/junit-4.12.jar:target/dependency/* -g -d . $(find . -type f -name '*.java')"

[debugger.interactive]
transport = "localhost:0"
connectTimeout = 60
startCommand = "java-debug"

[debugger.interactive.initializeMessage]
command = "initialize"
type = "request"

[debugger.interactive.initializeMessage.arguments]
adapterID = "cppdbg"
clientID = "replit"
clientName = "replit.com"
columnsStartAt1 = true
linesStartAt1 = true
locale = "en-us"
pathFormat = "path"
supportsInvalidatedEvent = true
supportsProgressReporting = true
supportsRunInTerminalRequest = true
supportsVariablePaging = true
supportsVariableType = true

[debugger.interactive.launchMessage]
command = "launch"
type = "request"

[debugger.interactive.launchMessage.arguments]
classPaths = ["."]
mainClass = "Main"

[deployment]
build = "javac -classpath .:target/dependency/* -d . $(find . -type f -name '*.java')"
run = "java -classpath .:target/dependency/* Main"

It worked out ! Thank you so much, guys! I’ll have to that to every new file ?

You can create new classes in new files, which you can then import into your Main.java.

Go to .replit and change the file to start on run
