How you change directory in Java

Can someone tell me how to change directory in java ?
Sample code would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe you could explain why you think you need to change the directory. Then a solution to your actual problem might appear.

  • How to change directory in Terminal (ex. cd System HD)

    hi
    how to change directory in Terminal (ex. cd System HD)
    i wrote cd system hd, which did not work. Terminal understood it as cd system.
    is there some character to write a "space" between words?
    thanks

    You need to escape the spaces with a leading backslash or the shell will give you unexpected results.
    For example to cd to "folder with spaces"
    cd folder\ with\ spaces/
    Also, the bash tab-auto-complete is your friend. Type a character or two and then tab, you'll get the idea when you see the result. If there is more than one possible completion, then hit tab a couple of times quickly and you'll get a list of all of the options.

  • Change Directory in Java

    Hello,
    It seems there's a method of chdir ( ) to change the current directory in Java, but didnot work for me. Is there any better way to get around it? I mean, is it possible to change directory in run-time? if I put an argument on the command line for the user to enter, would it be possible, as long as the user has that permission?
    Thanks!

    Generally, this is not a good thing. It seldom accomplishes what you want .

    This seems to be the essentially the same question as your earlier post from today:
    extracting the content of jar files into another folder
    Shouldn't you just continue your inquiry in that thread? After all it is also about maneuvering around among various filesystem folders.

  • How you change the download frequency for a single Podcast?

    I have iTunes 11.1.5 for Mac, and I can't find how to change the down load frequence , aka "check for new episodes" setting for individual podcasts. I've tried using the settings menu in the "My Podcasts" and the "List" podcast view. When I do this, I see these setting:
    Keep
    Download
    Sort Order
    Play Order
    If I click on the "Defaults..." button, the top setting is "check for new episodes"
    I have no problem with being able to change the  default download frequency setting, but I am at wit's end with locating where I can change that setting for individual podcasts.

    Bump.

  • Any other ways to change directory in Java Application??

    As Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cd ..") won't work in Java
    application, are there no other ways to change the current directory.
    Let's say the current directory is C:\test, and you run Test1.class
    C:\test\java Test1
    In Test1.java, you try to change the current directory to C:\helloworld.
    Is it possible???

    y do you want to chnge the current dir???
    if you want to access files then u can do that from ur current directory. simply create a file object using the absolute file path to the file
    for example if u r thinking of writing to a file located in c:\file and ur program is currently in c:\myProgram then u just have to create a file object
    file f = new file("c:\\file");
    then create ur input or ouput streams using this file object and you can do wat u want with it.
    even if you dont want to read or write to a file im sure you can use the absolute path to do wat you want without changing the current working dir.

  • How to change directory for VOD files

    Hello..
    My company has recently asked me to install the Adobe Streaming Server 4.0.  I was wondering if it is possible to have the server software reside on the C: drive, while having my VOD files on seperate D: drive.  The staff here wants to separate the software (server in this instance) from the individual flash video files, so they have set up two drives.  Any suggestions here?  Can this be done, or do the files have to reside inside the VOD folder on the C: drive?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your interest in FMS 4.
    Yes , you can have the FMS installation in the C drive and the media files any where else. Go to the FMS installation directory and to the conf folder under it. There is a fms.ini configuration file where we can edit the settings for the vod folder. Find a variable VOD_DIR which is now pointing to the vod/media folder under FMS. Change it to the location that you would like to have.

  • How to change SysMenu in java?

    I was a MFC user, and now moved to java.
    but I have no idea on "change system menu" in java
    system menu is the popup menu when press<Alt>+<Space>
    thx a lot!

    You'll need to use the Java Native Interface (JNI) to get access to the system menu. Have a look at the following links to learn more about JNI (Sun's JNI tutorial) and for an example of a class that makes use of the JNI to call Windows API calls (for the second link see view the article A Windows-Specific Java Utility Class.

  • Metamodel.log - how to change directory?

    Where to change in the log configurator?
    Thanks a lot and best regarsd

    I'm not sure but i have read somewhere that, using getDocumentBase() instead of getCodeBase() to resolve the URL, returns the URL for "htmldir" (provided you are keeping the html page which loads the applet in that directory).
    You may have to change
    URL url = getCodeBase();to
    URL url = getDocumentBase();Hope this may help you....

    In XML, everything within <!-- and --> is a comment.  You need to remove the <!-- and -->:

  • How to change the Finder and Time machine Icons

    Hi, wondered how you change these icons as the usual method of just copying and pasting the image in does not work.  Would also like to not have to download an app to be able to do this if possible.
    Thanks.

    I do not think the FINDER icon can be changed.  I have seen software that allows you to change the appearance of external HHDs, but I do not know if that is possible with Time Machine.  If I were a betting man I would say no.
    Ciao.
