In this post, we will see how to convert String to Path in Java.
Using Paths’get() method [ Java 7 ]
To convert String to Path, use jva.nio.file.Paths's get() method. It is a static method.
Here is an example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
package org.arpit.java2blog; import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; public class CreatePathFromStringMain { public static void main(String[] args) { String pathStr = "C:/temp/tempFile.txt"; // Create path from string Path path = Paths.get(pathStr); System.out.println("Path => "+path); } } |
Output:
|
1 2 3 |
Path => C:\temp\tempFile.txt |
You can also join multiple strings using Paths‘s get() method. It will join all the String with delimiter /.
Here is an example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
package org.arpit.java2blog; import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; public class CreatePathFromStringMain { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create path from string Path path = Paths.get("C:","temp","tempFile.txt"); System.out.println("Path => "+path); } } |
Output:
|
1 2 3 |
Path => C:\temp\tempFile.txt |
Using Path’s of() method [ Java 11 ]
There is new method of() introduced in Java 11 which takes String as argument and provides the Path object.
Here is an example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
package org.arpit.java2blog; import java.nio.file.Path; public class CreatePathFromStringMain { public static void main(String[] args) { String pathStr = "C:/temp/tempFile.txt"; // Create path from string Path path1 = Path.of(pathStr); System.out.println("Path => "+path1); // Using multiple Strings Path path2 = Path.of("C:","temp","tempFile.txt"); System.out.println("Path Using multiple Strings => "+path2); } } |
Output:
|
1 2 3 4 |
Path => C:\temp\tempFile.txt Path Using multiple Strings => C:\temp\tempFile.txt |
That’s all about how to convert String to Path in Java.
