Java Example - File Path Comparison

Java Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the filename.compareTo(another filename) method of the File class to compare whether two file paths are in the same directory:

Main.java File

import java.io.File;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        File file1 = new File("C:/File/demo1.txt");
        File file2 = new File("C:/java/demo1.txt");
        if(file1.compareTo(file2) == 0) {
            System.out.println("File paths are the same!");
        } else {
            System.out.println("File paths are different!");
        }
    }
}

The output of the above code is:

File paths are different!
