Is there a Java equivalent for System.IO.Path.Combine()
in C#/.NET? Or any code to accomplish this?
This static method combines one or more strings into a path.
Rather than keeping everything string-based, you should use a class which is designed to represent a file system path.
If you're using Java 7 or Java 8, you should strongly consider using java.nio.file.Path
; Path.resolve
can be used to combine one path with another, or with a string. The Paths
helper class is useful too. For example:
Path path = Paths.get("foo", "bar", "baz.txt");
If you need to cater for pre-Java-7 environments, you can use java.io.File
, like this:
File baseDirectory = new File("foo");
File subDirectory = new File(baseDirectory, "bar");
File fileInDirectory = new File(subDirectory, "baz.txt");
If you want it back as a string later, you can call getPath()
. Indeed, if you really wanted to mimic Path.Combine
, you could just write something like:
public static String combine(String path1, String path2)
{
File file1 = new File(path1);
File file2 = new File(file1, path2);
return file2.getPath();
}
