Re: Renaming file

[Concannon, David]

Does it give a runtime error or a compile error?   If it is a compile error it may be due to the path seperator '\'.   Use :   String sep=System.getProperty("file.seperator");   The use the file path as:   String path="c:"+sep+"directory"+sep+"hello.txt";     Dave.   -----Original Message----- From: david [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2000 9:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Renaming file Hi,   I am attaching a code down where I am renaming file. it works fine if  I am not giving the path but when I include path its giving error can somebody help me out  in this   David import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class test { public static void main(String args[]) { try { File fil=new File("hello.txt"); if( fil.exists () ) System.out.println( "Exists"); if( fil.renameTo(new File("hello1.txt")) ) System.out.println( "Succeeded"); else System.out.println( "Failed"); } catch(Exception e){} } }
