Thread: Moving files in a Directory

Hi,
I would like to move all my files in a directory to another directory ...

I used

new File("source file path").renameTo(new File("destination file path"));

but i have a trouble giving the path of source and destination files...(not accepting "/" in the path)

can some 1 suggest me a better way to do this

Thanks
Sai

I guess the issue is resolved
FYI

 
import java.io.*;
 
import javax.swing.*;
 
 
 
public class MovingFile{
 
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
 
  int a = 0;
 
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
  System.out.print("Enter the file or directory name that has to be moved : ");
 
 String src = in.readLine();
 
  if(src.equals("")){
 
   System.out.println("Invalid directory or file name.");
 
    System.exit(0);
 
 }
 
 File source = new File(src);
 
  if(!source.exists()){
 
   System.out.println("File or directory does not exist.");
 
    System.exit(0);
 
 }
 
System.out.print("Enter the complete path where file or directory has to be moved: ");
 
  String dest = in.readLine();
 
  if(dest.equals("")){
 
    System.out.println("Invalid directory or file name.");
 
      System.exit(0);
 
 }
 
File destination = new File(dest);
 
 
    if(!destination.exists()){
 
    System.out.print("Mentioned directory does not exist.\nDo you want to create a new directory(Y/N)? ");
 
    String chk = in.readLine();
 
 
    if(chk.equals("Y") || chk.equals("y")){
 
     destination.mkdir();
 
   copyDirectory(source, destination);
 
     a = 1;
 
  }
 
  else if(chk.equals("N") || chk.equals("n")){
 
     System.exit(0);
 
  }
 
else{
 
    System.out.println("Invalid Entry!");
 
     System.exit(0);
 
  }
 
}
