File path from specific directory

hi all ,
How to get full file path from specific directory having many folder inside that directory.
I have file name and main directory name,please help me if you know about it

I recognize that this post is half a year old at this writing, and the OP has probably long since either solved or abandoned the problem in question. That being stipulated: if I understand the question properly, the OP is stating that there is a directory named A, and contained somewhere within that directory or one (or more) of its subdirectories is one (or more) file(s) named abc.txt, and OP would like to be able to locate and obtain the canonical path to said file(s). While I am in no way a java maven, I've written a brief program which appears to do exactly that:
import java.io.*;
public class Main {
    public Main() {
        String whatImLookingFor = "abc.txt";
        String startingDirectory = "A";
        File path = new File("A");
        recursivelySearch(path, whatImLookingFor);
    private void recursivelySearch(File path, String whatImLookingFor) {
        try {
            if (path.isFile()) {
                if (path.getName().equals(whatImLookingFor))
                    System.out.println(path.getCanonicalPath());
            else
                if (path.isDirectory()) {
                    File[] currentFiles = path.listFiles();
                    for (int i=0; i<currentFiles.length; i++)
                        recursivelySearch(currentFiles, whatImLookingFor);
catch(IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("During search got error "+ioe.getMessage());
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Main();

  • How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system

    Hi Firends,
    How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system , whenevr i will click on browse button.
    Please give reply for this one , if anybody knows.
    Thanks,
    Anderson.

    Hi Anderson,
    if you're using flash.filesystem.FileReference - then it is run in black box - except of filename, size and creation data (and few other properties available after some operation succeeded). This is part of security features in Flash runtime (described in header section):
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/FileReference .html
    This for example implies that user can download a content to local machine - but that content cannot be loaded back into Flash runtime. For this you would need either Air runtime flash.filesystem.File:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
    (so you would created Air runtime based application: desktop or mobile but not web, even as standalone project) or you would need one of 3rd party tools that add file access/file information features to standard Flash runtime applications converted to standalone native applications.
    hth,
    kind regards,

  • Issue with Getting the file path from InputFile component

    Hi,
    One of our requirement is like below:
    I am working on ADF 11g (latest release R1) page. User will select the file and when he/she clicks on the Save button we need to store the file path in the database.
    In the database file_path is varchar2(300). We need to store just the file path. I am using InputFile component but filepath is not getting inserted.
    This is really urgent. It would be really appreciate if anyone can guide me on this.
    Thanks
    MC

    Hi Mahesh,
    I have manage to store the file path from the InputFile component in Jdev 11g. I found the file upload script from this forum and manage to alter it so that i could save the file path to the database. But my problem is to retrieve it back to view as a document. Hope this will help you :)
    This is an example of what I have manage to save to my DB :

  • Incorrect file path from getContextPath

    I am trying to get a file listing from a directory on the server from my jsp page by doing:
    File hrdir = new File(request.getContextPath().substring(1));The substring just takes off the leading /.
    Anyway, if I do a getAbsolutePath() on my file object I get back: "C:\Program files\Tomcat 5.5\AppName"
    However, the actual path is: "C:\Program files\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\AppName"
    Any ideas on why the path is coming back incorrectly?

  • How Do I get a File Path from a FileName?

    Hi there,
    I was wondering how do i get a file path(i.e) directory only from a file name.
    Say i got a file called "C:\Test.txt" is there a method in java that will allow me to only get "C:\"?
    I've tried getPath(), getAbsolutePath() and they all return the directory and the file itself.
    Please Help
    James

    String path = file.getPath();
    String name = file.getName();
    int i=0;
    for(i=0; i< (path.length()-name.lenth() ); i++){
    String temp = path.substring(i, i+name.length());
    if(temp.equals(name) break;
    return path.substring(0,i);

  • External hard drive -- old file path from a previous laptop is still where to find my songs,  how do I change?

    My iTunes library is a mess, it is stored on an external hard drive.  My old laptop died unexpectedly and I didn't have a problem resetting the file path for the library on my new laptop.  The other day my son was trying to update his iPod when I wasn't home and I don't know what he did.... GRRRR  Any songs I purchased on my old laptop are now not able to be found.  When I click on 'get info' on a song it shows the old file path from the old laptop.  Songs that I purchased since the new laptop are still playable and great.  I know my songs are still there but I can't seem to get the file path to reset on the old music.  HELP!!! PLEASE

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or an external drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • File with list of .txt files in a specific directory

    Hi,
    I need to create a file with list of .txt files in a specific directory (actually the command will be used by a java application).
    I am using the below command,
    ls home/apptmt/park/*.txt > home/apptmt/park/reportgen.txt
    but this command prints output as
    home/apptmt/park/report1.txt
    home/apptmt/park/report2.txt
    home/apptmt/park/report3.txt
    I need only the files in reportgen.txt file, like
    report1.txt
    report2.txt
    report3.txt
    any one help me on the command I should use to get this output?
    Thanks

  • How to Serialize a file path from client to server?

    I am using serializing concepts in java. I am stuck, that how can i send only file path from client to server?

    Um, ill take a wild guess and say that youre trying to
    access a file on another computer using that path?
    That wont work.
    What could the other computer possible do
    with that path unless both computers are networked to a
    common drive, or if they are networked to each other in a way
    where the root in the file path would point to the same place
    on either computer?

  • Writing the file to a specific directory on server using DATASET

    Hello Friends
    I know that using dataset command we can create a file, write to a file, read from a file etc.,
    But by default it uses the directory DIR_SAPUSERS which is the ./ directory.
    But this particular directory DIR_SAPUSERS also has other system related log files etc.,
    Is there a way to make the command DATASET write to a user created directory instead of this ./ ??
    Any suggestions or comments will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ram

    IF NOT p_ufile IS INITIAL.
    OPEN DATASET p_ufile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    here p_ufile will contain the path where ever u need to place the file i.e. use specific path.... ex: "usr/sap/bin/interface"

    -- Calculate the end of the current word
    l_end := DBMS_LOB.INSTR(l_loc, l_sen, l_pos, 1);
    -- Process end-of-file
    IF (l_end = 0) THEN
    EXIT;
    END IF;
    -- Read until end-of-file
    l_sum := l_end - l_pos;

    l_pos := l_pos + l_sum + 1;
    END LOOP;

    ELSE
    dbms_output.put_line('File ' || l_fil || ' in Directory ' || l_dir ||

    Now its working fine with one addtional line...
    The file content is...
    This is My Content
    This is My Content
    This is My Content
    This is My Content
    This is My Content
    But The output was...
    File testfile.txt in Directory READ_LOB_DIR exists
    This is My Content
    This is My Content
    This is My Content
    This is My Content
    This is My Content
    here, i want to delete that additonal line...?

  • Access denied error --  while copying file to a specific directory

    Hi Friends,
    I have gone through scores of examples and i am failing to understand the right thing to be done to copy a file from one directory to another. Here is my class
    package ZipTest;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    public class TestCopy {

              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
              File source = new File("C:\\mkyong\\test_1.txt");
              File desc = new File("C:\\GetMe1");
              try {
                   copyFiles(source,desc);
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e.printStackTrace();
         public static void copyFiles(File src, File dest) throws IOException
         if (!src.exists())
         throw new IOException("copyFiles: Can not find source: " + src.getAbsolutePath()+".");
         else if (!src.canRead())
         throw new IOException("copyFiles: No right to source: " + src.getAbsolutePath()+".");
         if (src.isDirectory())
         if (!dest.exists())
         if (!dest.mkdirs())
         throw new IOException("copyFiles: Could not create direcotry: " + dest.getAbsolutePath() + ".");
         String list[] = src.list();
         for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
         File dest1 = new File(dest, list);
         File src1 = new File(src, list[i]);
         copyFiles(src1 , dest1);
         else
         FileInputStream fin = null;
         FileOutputStream fout = null;
         byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
         int bytesRead;
         try
         fin = new FileInputStream(src);
         fout = new FileOutputStream (dest);
         while ((bytesRead = fin.read(buffer)) >= 0)
         fout.write(buffer,0,bytesRead);
         catch (IOException e)
         IOException wrapper = new IOException("copyFiles: Unable to copy file: " +

         throw wrapper;
         finally
         if (fin != null) { fin.close(); }
         if (fout != null) { fin.close(); }
    But i am getting the following errorjava.io.IOException: copyFiles: Unable to copy file: C:\mkyong\test_1.txttoC:\GetMe1.

    It would be really helpful to have your guidance.

    Hi Friends,
    I have gone through scores of examples and i am failing to understand the right thing to be done to copy a file from one directory to another. Here is my class...So let's see... C:\GetMe1 is a directory on your machine, right? And this is what you are doing with that directory:
    public static void copyFiles(File src, File dest) throws IOException
    // dest is a 'File' object but represents the C:\GetMe1 directory, right?
    fout = new FileOutputStream (dest);If it's a directory, where in your code are you appending the source file name to the path, before trying to open an output stream on it? You're not.
    BTW, this is awful:
    catch (IOException e)
    IOException wrapper = new IOException("copyFiles: Unable to copy file: " +
    src.getAbsolutePath() + "to" + dest.getAbsolutePath()+".");
    wrapper.initCause(e);
    wrapper.setStackTrace(e.getStackTrace());
    throw wrapper;
    }1) You're hiding the original IOException and replacing it with your own? For what good purpose?
    2) Even if you had a good reason to do that, this would be simpler and better:
    throw new IOException("your custom message goes here", e);
    rather than explicitly invokign initCause and setStackTrace. Yuck!
