 Yes it should return true. Can you use a debugger to find out which
  line in FileUtils is returning false? Also best to say which version
  of Commons IO you are using.


Just a thought: if you are using a Windows file system, the copy
command can sometimes change the file, e.g. if there is an EOF (^Z)
character in the file, then copy /a will stop copying after the EOF
character.

This will show up as different file lengths.

Commons IO FileUtils question

Hello:

 

I took a file on my filesystem, copied and renamed it.  I took the two
files and compared them using FileUtils.contentEquals(File, File).  In
this case, shouldn't the method return true?  If not, when would it
return true?

 

Thanks
