Save file without JFileChooser in specific directory

hi!
can you save a file without opening a JFileChooser dialogue to a specific directory??
the problem I have got is not how to address to the directory but how to save the file....
could someone help me please?
thx
charly

If u only want to save the file instead of selecting from the filechooser then you should use
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
int retVal = fc.showSaveDialog(frame);
if(retVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
String filename = fc.getSelectedFile().getName();
getName() will give file name and getAbsolutePath() will give the full path.
filename -> is the file name that u entered for saving in the field. I am not sure if this what u wanted. Hope this helps otherwise pls be more specific in ur question.
Selvi.
I was pondering the same question. if I just open the
dialog, instead of choosing a file from a directory, I
want to type in a new file name, and save it.
help is appreciated.

  • Monitor for .err file creation in a specific directory

    Does anyone know if it's possible to get SCOM to monitor a certain directory and then alert if a .err extension file is created there?   If so, are there any instructions you might be able to provide or resources to point me to?  I tried
    searching but wasn't having too much luck. Any assistance would be appreciated!

    Hi,
    I would like to suggest you create a monitor based on powershell script which can be used to test existance of .err file in a specific directory. The below command can be used to check .err extension existance under D:\specific directory
    Test-Path "D:\specific directory\*.err"

  • TEXT_IO.FOPEN how to pick file without specifying the full directory path

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle application server 10gR2 on Linux with forms 10g application. I am building the DEV/TEST/UAT environment on same Linux machine with one OAS.

  • HOW TO SAVE FILES WITHOUT HAVING TO SEARCH FOR DESTINATION FOLDER AGAIN

    Hello maybe someone can help me on this one.
    I have a MacBookPro. And run loads of applications like Logic Pro, Photoshop, Peak, ProTools, etc.
    Everytime I save changes on a project or file i am working on i have to choose the destination folder. Is there a way to save settings so that the last folder chosen automatically comes up when i would like to save new changes i did? I mean now i have to search and choose the destination folder each and every time I want to save changes. Since I have loads of projects i am working on and since i have MANY folders and sub folders this is quite irritating since it slows down my work flow.
    I used to use a Powerbook G4 (os x 10.4.11) and I never had that problem. Each and every time I saved changes the machine automatically chose the folder i previously used to save. I never had to save settings for none of the MANY applications I use. This was something that went automatically: My powerbook automatically chose the last folder that i used to save files into.
    I'd like to have my MacBookPro do the same.
    Anyone knows about this issue?
    Thanks in advance.
    ps: i tried to explain best as i could in English (i am Dutch so excuse the (spelling) mistakes i might have made)

    I put an alias in some folders to go to commonly or frequently used locations so I could "Boomerang".
    Maybe take a look at the Default Folder utility.

  • Cannot "Save File" on download to specific folder

    I have Win 7 and Firefox 4.0. When I try to download a file from an e-mail (gmail) only the "open" option works and it puts the file in my download folder. If I select the "Save File" button it does the same thing. How can I select which folder to download to? Internet Explorer works OK.
    Thanks

  • Setting default save file in JFileChooser

    Is there a way to set a default file name for the save dialog created by
    JFileChooser.showSaveDialog(null);in order to save the user needing to type something every time?
    Thanks.

    Exactly
    Java keeps ramming classes into the jre that are useful in only a very limited context. At the same time, they can't give us a filedialog that adds the extension onto the returned file... This is something everyone wants, but unfortunately is'nt part of Java. I'm frustrated by it as well (if you can't tell)

  • Save files without accessing desktop

    Hi
    So I have an iMac i think from early 2009 it came with snow leopard it has 4gb ram and 500gb hard drive. Currently it has Mavericks and today I tried to turn it on and a white progress bar appeared under the apple logo, the bar filled gray until just right before the end and then my iMac turned off, this happened twice. I looked up about it and apparently my disk might be defective or something, I tried to repair it with disk utility but it said that disk utility can't repair it and that i have to make a backup, format the disk and restore the copy, I don't have time machine and even thought my external drive is 2tb I don't know how much is free just that is less than 1TB. Also i read that i should try and erase the drive and reinstall OS X but that before that i should save everything I needed and there are some files that I really really need and maybe if I could check all the apps I have, so I can write them down, that'd be great too but it's not that important as saving the files. So, is there a way to do that or the backup? I thought maybe reinstalling mavericks without erasing, saving the files I need and then erasing everything and reinstalling the OS. But i don't know if that is gonna work and i rather not waste time on something that definitely won't work.
    Please help and thanks.

    Reboot to the Recovery Partition, use Disk Utility to create a new partition on the external hard drive formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Option GUID. Then install the OS on the new partition. Restart holding down the option/alt key, select the external, and boot from it. Use a clone to back up your files. Then use Disk Utility to erase the internal hard drive. Boot back into the Recovery Partition and install the OS on the internal. Then recovery your files by mounting the clone on the internal and selectively restoring your files.

  • How to import CSV file which exists in specific directory

    Hi,
    There is one directory and new csv file is put there in daily batch. And the files have to be imported to DB.
    I tried to use DBMS_LOB package, but it doesn't work.. So, if anybody know some good sample code, please tell me.

    If you are on 10g (not sure which exact release I'm afraid) you might look at Chris Poole's XUTL_FINDFILES that lists the files in a directory using PL/SQL and DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.SEARCHFILES (all a bit undocumented as it seems to be provided as part of rman).

  • How to make Excel 2010 save a HTML report as a file without a folder created

    We have a HTML report generated by Oracle Report with headers as below:
    <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
    xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
    xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
    In Excel 2010, after pressing the "save" button (not "save as"), it will by default save the report as web page format instead of xls, a folder "xxx.files" containing some css, xml and html files are created
    in it. If user deletes the folder carelessly, the excel report cannot be viewed at all.
    In Excel 2003, we can save it directly in its original format simply by pressing the "save" button, without creating a folder. May I know if there are any options in office 2010, macro or registries settings that can make
    Excel 2010 to do the same as Excel 2003 when pressing the "save" button? Thanks!

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want a workaround to avoid creating a new folder when saving a html file in Excel 2010.
    In my opinion, this issue is more related to the feature of HTML format or Excel 2010 application rather and I don't think we could resort to a macro or registry settings to avoid that. I suggest you posting it in
    Excel IT pro forum for more effective responses.

    How to save file in users temp directory as "<Drive Name>:\Documents and Settings\<User Name\Local Settings\Temp".

    Shouldn't the System property "user.home" reference to that directory on windows? So if you call System.getProperty("user.home");, I think it should return that path at least up to <User Name>. I never really tried it on Windows though.

  • How can I navigate to a specific target folder when performing a save file command?

    Whenever i click on a Save option for a file, I am eventually presented with a dialog box that gives me a choice of Devices, Favorites and Recent file selections. Which i usually stare at knowing that the actual folder I want the file saved to will not be on the list of options that are presented to me. Nor does there seem to be any way to get around of this dead-end, pre-determined save menu and point the save file process to the folder you want to save the file to. So, when I want to save a file to a specific folder that I have in mind that OSX does not know about, how do I do it?

    You have me a bit confused. if you are asking "how do i get a dialog box that i can navigate to any folder with" - there is atriangle next to the file name - click it to "open" and a much bigger dialog box with full finder access wil open. Navigate where you wish and save.
    You can also add items to your sidebar.
