Handling files in java Posted: Mar 26, 2002 11:09 AM

Is there any way I can retreive a file's information (such as size of the file, date created, date modified)? I can't seem to find any class that allows me to do these things. I'm actually interested in getting the size of a file more specifically, but I might need to get other information (such as date created) in the future. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Java doesn't give you all pieces of information about files. However, you can get the file size and last modifed date. Please refer to java.io.File class. length() method gives you size and lastModified() method gives you last modified date.

Thanks
