In this section, you will learn how to convert file to url.
Description of code:
The File class provides a method toURL() for this purpose. But if the path of file contains special characters link space or exclamation mark, then the problem will occur as this method just appends "file:/" at the starting of the file path and doesn't escape any special characters.
To overcome this problem, you can use the following code:
File.toURI().toURL() : it gives correct output, escaping special characters from the file path.
Here is the code:
import java.io.*;
public class FileTOURL {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
File file = new File("C:/Java Examples/data.txt");
System.out.println(file.toURL());
System.out.println(file.toURI().toURL());
}
}
Through the use of file.toURI().toURL(), you can easily convert file to url whether there is a simple path or contains special characters.
Output:
|
file:/C:/Java Examples/data.txt |
