EX NO :8 PERFORM FILE HANDLING
Aim:
Write a java program to create a new file.
Algorithm:
Step 1: Start the program
Step 2: createNewFile() method is used for creating a file.
Step 3: createNewFile() method returns true when it successfully creates a new file
and returns false when the file already exists.
STEP 4: Import scanner and file classes.
Step 5: Use scanner method to get file name from user.
Step 6: Create a file object.
Step 7: Call the respective methods to display file properties like getName(), getPath() etc.
Step 8: Call the respective methods
String.getBytes(),FileOutputStream.flush() ,FileOutputStream.close()
Step 9: String.getBytes() - returns the bytes array.
Step 10: FileOutputStream.flush() - Is used to clear the output steam buffer.
Step 11: FileOutputStream.close() - Is used to close output stream (Close the file).
Step 12: Stop the program
PROGRAM:
FILE CREATION:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
class CreateFile
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
File f0 = new File("D:File1.txt");
if (f0.createNewFile())
{
System.out.println("File " + f0.getName() + " is created successfully.");
}
else {
System.out.println("File is already exist in the directory.");
}
} catch (IOException exception)
{
System.out.println("An unexpected error is occurred.");
exception.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
DISPLAY FILE:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
class fileDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Enter the file name:");
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String s = input.nextLine();
File f1=new File(s);
System.out.println("-------------------------");
System.out.println("File Name: " +f1.getName());
System.out.println("Path: " +f1.getPath());
System.out.println("Abs Path: " +f1.getAbsolutePath());
System.out.println("This file: " +(f1.exists()?"Exists":"Does not exists"));
System.out.println("File: " +f1.isFile());
System.out.println("Directory: " +f1.isDirectory());
System.out.println("Readable: " +f1.canRead());
System.out.println("Writable: " +f1.canWrite());
System.out.println("Absolute: " +f1.isAbsolute());
System.out.println("File Size: " +f1.length()+ "bytes");
System.out.println("Is Hidden: " +f1.isHidden());
}
}
WRITE CONTENT IN TO A FILE:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class WriteFile { public static void main(String args[])
{
final String fileName = "file.txt";
try
{
File objFile = new File(fileName);
if (objFile.exists() == false)
{ if (objFile.createNewFile())
{ System.out.println("File created successfully.");
}
else
{
System.out.println("File creation failed!!!");
System.exit(0);
}
}
String text;
Scanner SC = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter text to write into file: ");
text = SC.nextLine();
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(objFile);
fileOut.write(text.getBytes());
fileOut.flush();
fileOut.close();
System.out.println("File saved.");
}
catch (Exception Ex)
{
System.out.println("Exception : " + Ex.toString());
}
}
Output:
C:\ >javac fileDemo.java
C:\ >java fileDemo
Enter the file name:
fileDemo.java
-------------------------
File Name:
fileDemo.java Path:
fileDemo.java
Abs Path: D:\ Ex 08\fileDemo.java
This file: Exists
File: true
Directory: false
Readable: true
Writable: true
Absolute: false
File Size: 895bytes
Is Hidden: false
RESULT:
Thus the java application to perform File Handling was implemented and the program was
executed successfully.
