try {
// Create object from File class
File myFile = new File("C:\\Users\\ELSIE\\Documents\\sample.txt");

// .exists() method checks if a file exists in the pathname


if (myFile.exists()) {
System.out.println(myFile.getName() + "exists!");
} else {
System.out.println(myFile.getName() + " does not exist!");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("There is an error");

}

}

CREATE FILE

import java.io.File;

public class App {


public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

try {
// Create object from File class
File myFile = new File("C:\\Users\\ELSIE\\Documents\\sample.txt");

// .createNewFile() method creates a new file if the file in the pathname does
// not exist
if (myFile.createNewFile()) {
System.out.println(myFile.getName() + " created!");
} else {
System.out.println(myFile.getName() + " already exists!");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("There is an error");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

WRITE FILE

import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

public class App {


public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

try {
// Create object from FileWriter class
FileWriter myWriter = new FileWriter("C:\\Users\\ELSIE\\Documents\\sample.txt");

// .write() methods adds content to the file


myWriter.write("Hello i am now taking intermediate programming in Java!");

// Close FileWriter
myWriter.close();

System.out.println("File Write successful!");


} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("An error occurred.");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

READ FILE

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class App {


public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

try {
// Create an object from the File class
File myFile = new File("C:\\Users\\ELSIE\\Documents\\sample.txt");

// Create an object from the Scanner class


Scanner scan = new Scanner(myFile);

// Read the content of the file


while (scan.hasNextLine()) {
String data = scan.nextLine();
System.out.println(data);
}
// Close scanner
scan.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

}
}

DELETE FILE

try {
// Create object from File class
File myFile = new File("C:\\Users\\ELSIE\\Documents\\sample.txt");

// .delete() method removes a file if the file exists in the pathname


if (myFile.delete()) {
System.out.println(myFile.getName() + " deleted successfully!");
} else {
System.out.println("Failed to delete " + myFile.getName());
}
