Below programs will illustrate the use of the getPath() function:
Example 1: We are given a file object of a file, we have to get the path of the file object.
// Java program to demonstrate the// use of getPath() function import java.io.*; public class solution { public static void main(String args[]) { // try catch block to handle exceptions try { // Create a file object File f = new File("c:\\users\\program.txt"); // Get the path of the given file f String path = f.getPath(); // Display the file path of the file object System.out.println("File path : " + path); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println(e.getMessage()); } }} |
Output:
File path : c:\users\program.txt
Example 2: We are given a file object of a directory, we have to get the path of the file object.
// Java program to demonstrate the// use of getPath() function import java.io.*; public class solution { public static void main(String args[]) { // try catch block to handle exceptions try { // Create a file object File f = new File("c:\\users\\program"); // Get the path of the given file f String path = f.getPath(); // Display the file path of the file object System.out.println("File path : " + path); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println(e.getMessage()); } }} |
Output:
File path : c:\users\program
The programs might not run in an online IDE. please use an offline IDE and set the path of the file
