How to find a file recursively in Java
In this tutorial we are going to learn about finding a file recursively in Java.
using Java 8 we can locate a file in Java that is indicated by a starting path. It should search through a tree for a specified file. If the file is found, the location of the file should be returned.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
public class BehindJava {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try (Stream<Path> walkStream = Files.walk(Paths.get("C:\\Users\\cldee\\Downloads\\Programs"))) {
walkStream.filter(p -> p.toFile().isFile()).forEach(f -> {
if (f.toString().endsWith(".exe")) {
System.out.println(f + " found!");
}
});
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}Output:
