    Default Checkin if a file exist within a directory

    How do I check if a file typed in by the user in the FileDialog exist in the directory. if the file is not found or existed in teh directory a certain message is displayed. I do not know how to do that. Could I get some help.
    FileDialog fileWindow = new FileDialog(new Frame(),"Tash & David's File Founder System");
    fileWindow.setVisible(true);


    if (fileWindow.getFile() != null) {

    File fileDirectory = new File(fileWindow.getDirectory());

    String[] Directory = fileDirectory.list();

    for (; i < Directory.length; i++) {


    if(Directory[i].startsWith(fileWindow.getFile())){

    System.out.print("yes");


    }


    }


    }
    else
    JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "Are you Sure");
    }

    1. Use code tags for enclosing the code in tags.
    2. Why don't you try File.exists()?
