bookBasic File Operations

When working with files, you often need to perform some essential operations such as checking if a file exists, creating a new file if it does not exist, and deleting a file when it is no longer needed. These actions help you manage files safely and efficiently. In Java, you use the File class to handle these operations. To check if a file exists, you use the exists() method. To create a new file, you can use the createNewFile() method, and to delete a file, you use the delete() method. Understanding these methods and when to use them is crucial for preventing errors and managing resources properly.

import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; public class FileOperationsExample { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a File object representing the file "example.txt" File file = new File("example.txt"); // Check if the file exists if (file.exists()) { System.out.println("File already exists."); } else { try { // Try to create the file if it does not exist if (file.createNewFile()) { System.out.println("File created successfully."); } else { System.out.println("Failed to create the file."); } } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println("An error occurred while creating the file."); e.printStackTrace(); } } // Delete the file if (file.delete()) { System.out.println("File deleted successfully."); } else { System.out.println("Failed to delete the file."); } } }

Safely handling file operations is important to avoid accidental data loss or errors. By always checking if a file exists before creating or deleting it, you help ensure that your program behaves as expected and does not overwrite or remove important data unintentionally.
