We would like to know how to check if a path is a regular file/Directory without following the symbolic links.
import java.nio.file.FileSystems; import java.nio.file.Files; import java.nio.file.LinkOption; import java.nio.file.Path; /*from w ww . j a v a2s . c o m*/ public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("/home/docs/users.txt"); System.out.println(Files.isRegularFile(path, LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS)); } }
The code above generates the following result.
The following code shows how to check if a path is Directory without following the symbolic links.
import java.nio.file.FileSystems; import java.nio.file.Files; import java.nio.file.LinkOption; import java.nio.file.Path; // w w w . j av a 2s. c o m public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("/home/docs/users.txt"); System.out.println(Files.isDirectory(path, LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS)); } }
The code above generates the following result.
