How to Convert a String to a File in Java
- 1). Open the Java Eclipse software from the Windows menu and open your Java project to load the source code files. Double-click the source code file you want to use to perform the file function.
- 2). Create the string variable you want to convert, if you do not already have a string you want to use. The following code shows you how to create a string in Java:
string fileinput = "c:\file.txt";
Replace "file.txt" with your own file path. - 3). Convert the string to a file handler. The following code uses the input string to open and convert to a file handler that points to the file specified in the string:
BufferedReader file = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileinput)); - 4). Close the file after you complete the process. After you read and open the file, you must close it to release the computer's resources. The following code closes the file:
file.close();
