Java - convert File to Path
2 points
In this short article, I would like to share how to get Path from File in java. It is quite easy, but is a common problem :)
To solve this problem we just need to call file.toPath() method on File object. Note that this method was added in java 1.7.
Full working example:
xxxxxxxxxx1
import java.io.File;2
import java.nio.file.Path;3
4
public class FileToPathExample {5
6
public static void main(String[] args) {7
8
File file = new File("C:\\examples");9
10
Path path = file.toPath();11
12
// ...13
}14
}Before java 1.7 we could convert File to Path like this:
xxxxxxxxxx1
import java.io.File;2
import java.nio.file.FileSystems;3
import java.nio.file.Path;4
5
public class FileToPathExample2 {6
7
public static void main(String[] args) {8
9
File file = new File("C:\\examples");10
11
Path path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(file.getPath());12
13
// ...14
}15
}
