Hello!
I'm a bit confused with all these new File I/O classes in JDK7.
Let's say, I have a Path
and want to rename the file, it represents.
How do I specify the new name, when again a Path
is expected?
Path p = /* path to /home/me/file123 */;
Path name = p.getName(); /* gives me file123 */
name.moveTo(/* what now? */); /* how to rename file123 to file456? */
NOTE: Why do I need JDK7? Handling of symbolic links!
Problem is: I have to do it with files, which names and locations are known at runtime. So, what I need, is a safe method (without exceptional side-effects) to create a new name-Path of some old name-Path.
Path newName(Path oldName, String newNameString){
/* magic */
}
