Create New File

File Handling In Java

We need to create a new file, write content to the file, delete content from the file and also delete the file. File handling is a useful part of any application. You can import java.io.File; to create a new file.

Info

Note: With the help of file management in java, we can automatically create, read, update, and delete a file. All the files are stored in a local file system.

Create New File

import java.io.File;  // For File Work Import the File class

public class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            File f = new File("myfile.txt");

            if (f.createNewFile()) {
                System.out.println("File is successfully created " + f.getName());
            } else {
                System.out.println("Seems like file already exist.");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
           System.out.println("An error occurred. "+e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Show Output

We are creating an object of class File, i.e., f.
The f.createNewFile() is responsible to create new file.

Don't forget to add try-catch while creating a new file.

Create New File In Specific Directory

import java.io.File;  // For File Work Import the File class

public class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
            File f = new File("C://hello/myfile.txt");
            if (f.createNewFile()) {
                System.out.println("File is successfully " + f.getName());
            } else {
                System.out.println("Seems like file already exist.");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("An error occurred. "+e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Info

Note: Make sure that you have permission while creating a file.
