IFile in eclipse CDT

[vin Hari]

Dear Experts,

i encountered some thing very strange problem today ,

actually i had

final IFile file = newProject.getFile(new Path("abc.txt"));
this will get created on runtime with some message instead i am trying to copy the contents of b.txt to a.txt

so initially it was

final IFile file = newProject.getFile(new Path("abc.txt"));
InputStream stream = openContentStream() ;
			
			if (file.exists()) {
				System.out.println("\n in if file.exists()");
				//file.setContents(stream, true, true, null);
				file.setContents(stream , true, true, null);
			} else {
				System.out.println("\n in if file.exists() else ");
				file.create(stream, true, null);
			}
			stream.close();


private InputStream openContentStream() {
		String contents =
			"This is the initial file contents"
		return new ByteArrayInputStream(contents.getBytes());
	}

so when the file a.txt gets created it creates with "This is the initial file contents" this message

instead of this i want the contents to be from b.txt so i did

final IFile file = newProject.getFile(new Path("abc.txt"));

InputStream in = new FileInputStream("C:\\temp1\\b.txt");// source file
			String abc=file.toString();
			
			[b]OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file.tostring());	[/b]
			
			byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
	        int len;
	        while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
	            out.write(buf, 0, len);
	        }
	        in.close();
	        out.close();
	        System.out.println("\n in if buf ="+buf);
	        InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(buf);
			
			if (file.exists()) {
				System.out.println("\n in if file.exists()");
				//file.setContents(stream, true, true, null);
				file.setContents(stream , true, true, null);
			} else {
				System.out.println("\n in if file.exists() else ");
				file.create(stream, true, null);
			}
			stream.close();

as it is failing at OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file.tostring());

i think the outstream takes absolute value , but how to achieve this. please inform

What about using the full path then ?

OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file.getFullPath().toFile());
