find whether the folder exists or not

[Madhu Sudhana]

How can we find that

a floder exists or not in a particular location?

ex:

c:\folder1

I have to search folder1 exists in c:\ or not

let me know if any body has the answer??

The java.io.File class has a method exists().

[A Kumar]

  public class DirectoryExists {
 
public static void main(String[] args) {
File f=new File("C:/folder1");
System.out.println("Exists " + f.isDirectory());

}
}
  

Try this


exists....checks whether the input exists (it can be a file or a folder)
isDirectory..checks whether the input exists and if it exists....it should be a directory...

I got the answer

its simple

import java.io.File;
class CheckFolder 
{
public static void main(String[] args) 
{
File folderExisting = new File("C:\\folder1");
 
if (folderExisting.exists()){
System.out.println("Floder exists");
}else{
System.out.println("Floder not exists");
}

}
}
