I am trying to create a file using
File newFile = new File("myFile");
However no file called "myFile" is created. This is within a Web application Project i.e. proper form to be pakaged as a WAR but I am calling it as part of a main method (just to see how this works).
How can I make it so that a new file is created at a location relative to the current one i.e not have to put in an absolute path.
EDIT:</b>
newFile.createFile();
Doesn't seem to work:
Here is the entire code:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Tester {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
Tester test = new Tester();
test.makeFile();
}
public void makeFile() throws IOException{
File newFile = new File("myFile");
newFile.createNewFile();
}
}
Answer1:
In answer to your comment. The file will be created in the current directory of the process, unless you specifiy otherwise.
// new file in current directory
File f = new File("yourFile");
f.createNewFile();
System.out.println("Path:" + f.getAbsolutePath());
To create it in a directory of your choosing:
File f = new File("c:\\yourDirectory","yourFile");
f.createNewFile();
System.out.println("Path:" + f.getAbsolutePath());
Answer2:
newFile.createNewFile();
Answer3:
you could use newFile.createNewFile();
