How do I determine if a pathname is a directory?
To determine if an abstract pathname is a directory we can use the File.isDirectory()
method. Here is an example code.
package org.kodejava.io;
import java.io.File;
public class IsDirectoryExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Creates a instance of File.
File file = new File("C:/Users/wsaryada");
// Check if the abstract pathname is a directory by calling
// isDirectory() method of the File class.
if (file.isDirectory()) {
System.out.println("This file is a directory.");
} else {
System.out.println("This is just an ordinary file.");
}
}
}
