File Handling in Java

📁 A repository showcasing various file handling operations in Java.

Overview

This repository provides examples and code snippets for performing file handling operations in Java. File handling is an essential aspect of many Java applications, allowing you to read, write, copy, and manipulate files on the local file system.

File handling is a critical aspect of any programming language.

File handling refers to manipulating files and directories on the file system. This article will provide an overview of file handling in Java.

java.io.File Class

The File class in Java is the primary way to handle files and directories. It is part of the java.io package, which is used for input and output operations.

The File class has two constructors:
1️⃣ One that takes a String representing the file path
2️⃣ Another File object representing the file path

This program will display all the contents of a given file on the console .

import java.io.*; 
public class ReadFileExample
{ 
  public static void main(String args[])
  { 
    try{
    File file = new File("C:\\Users\\masai\\Desktop\\test.txt");
      FileReader fr=new FileReader(file);
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
          String s=null;
          while ((s = br.readLine()) != null)
          System.out.println(s);
         }

     catch(Exception ex)

   {

   System.out.println(“Exception=”+ex);

   }
 }
 }

Java program to write the contents into a file :

import java.io.*;
class FileWriterDemo
{ 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException 
    { 
        
        
        try{
           File file = new File("C:\\Users\\sharp\\Desktop\\out.txt"); //file being created if it does not exist.     
           FileWriter fw=new FileWriter(file); 
           fw.write("Content to be written"); 
           fw.close(); 
		   System.out.println("File written"); 
		   }
		   catch(Exception ex)
		   {
		   System.out.println("Exception is"+ex);
		   }
		   
    } 
    ```
}
