public class FilenameUtils extends Object
Features of FilenameUtils
This class defines six components within a filename. Consider an example location as C:devprojectfile.txt. Then the components are −
- Prefix – C:
- Relative Path – devproject
- Absolute path – C:devproject

- Extension – txt
To identify a directory, add a separator to file name.
Example of FilenameUtils Class
An example of FilenameUtils Class is given below −
IOTester.java
import java.io.IOException; import org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils; public class IOTester { public static void main(String[] args) { try { //Using FilenameUtils usingFilenameUtils(); } catch(IOException e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } } public static void usingFilenameUtils() throws IOException { String path = "C:\dev\project\file.txt"; System.out.println("Full Path: " +FilenameUtils.getFullPath(path)); System.out.println("Relative Path: " +FilenameUtils.getPath(path)); System.out.println("Prefix: " +FilenameUtils.getPrefix(path)); System.out.println("Extension: " + FilenameUtils.getExtension(path)); System.out.println("Base: " + FilenameUtils.getBaseName(path)); System.out.println("Name: " + FilenameUtils.getName(path)); String filename = "C:/commons/io/../lang/project.xml"; System.out.println("Normalized Path: " + FilenameUtils.normalize(filename)); } }
Output
It will print the following result.
Full Path: C:devproject Relative Path: devproject Prefix: C: Extension: txt Base: file Name: file.txt Normalized Path: C:commonslangproject.xml
