[Java] Get the file path in Java – Get File Path in Java

To get the path 1 I use the file in Java file.getAbsolutePath();
However, this command gives us the file we get, example: /media/quan/DATA/textfile.txt but sometimes we just want to get /media/quan/DATA. To do this we make the following:

String filePath = absolutePath.substring(0, absolutePath.lastIndexOf(File.separator));

Code illustrations:

import java.io.File;

public class GetPath {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		File file = new File("/media/quan/DATA/textfile.txt"); // Khai bao file textfile.txt
		String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath();

		System.out.println("Absolute file Path : " + file.getAbsolutePath());

		String filePath = absolutePath.substring(0, absolutePath.lastIndexOf(File.separator));
		System.out.println("File Path : " + filePath);
	}
}

Output:

Absolute file Path : /media/quan/DATA/textfile.txt
File Path : /media/quan/DATA
