How to check if a file exists at the specified path

In this blog post, I will be explaining how you can check if a file exists at a specified path. Consider the following code snippet:

public class FileExists {

public static void main(String args[]){
String fileName = "C:/Test.txt";
File file = new File(fileName);
if(file.exists()){
System.out.println("File is present");
}
else
System.out.println("File is missing");
}
}

Here the File.exists method is used. This returns a true if a file with the specified name exists at the path specified, otherwise it returns a false.

If you run this code, you will get the following output (Assuming there is a file on C drive called test.txt):

File is present
