Hi,

You can also use:

String extension = FilenameUtils.getExtension(file.getName());

Thanks

Hi,

Here is example using FilenameUtils.getExtension(file.getName())

package examples;

import java.io.File;

import org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils;

public class GetFileExtension2 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
      File file = new File("c:/Deepak/1.jpg");
      String extension = FilenameUtils.getExtension(file.getName());
      System.out.println("File Exentsion:"+extension);
    }

}

Thanks
