Mac上文件的路径：FileNotFoundException

Question

I'm working on a mac and I'm trying to specify the path to a file on my desktop.

I just did it like this: File file = new File("/users/desktop/sample.json");

When I tried running it I got a FileNotFoundException.

How do I correctly specify the path?

Answer 1

Mac OS X's filesystem is case sensitive. Users and Desktop should start with capital letters, and your filename should also match case too.

Since you're looking for your desktop folder and not the root folder of a user with the name desktop , you need to add your username after the Users folder. For example:

File file = new File("/Users/LuxuryMode/Desktop/sample.json");

Answer 2

To get to know your correct path to be given, drag n drop your file in Mac terminal , which would give you the path of the file which would look like ex:/Users/Smith/Desktop/PI/ABApBASICS.docx

All you got to do is paste this code in Eclipse but mind you blackslash would throw you an error: invalid escape sequence solution: ex://Users//Harish//Desktop//PI//ABApBASICS.docx I was able to read the file without error inputting above path.
