import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils; import java.io.File; // Get a File object representing a file File file = FileUtils.getFile("C:/Users/username/Documents/example.txt");
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils; import java.io.File; // Get a File object representing a directory File dir = FileUtils.getFile("C:/Users/username/Documents/");Both examples import the FileUtils class from the org.apache.commons.io package and use the getFile method to obtain a File object representing either a file or a directory, depending on the path passed as a parameter. The first example returns a File object representing the file "example.txt" located in the directory "C:/Users/username/Documents/", while the second example returns a File object representing the directory itself. In conclusion, the FileUtils class is part of the Apache Commons IO library and provides useful methods for working with files and directories. The getFile method can be used to obtain a File object representing a file or directory specified by its pathname.
