dynamically search user input files

[Juuno]

When we want to open a file from java program, we use the following syntax.
File namefile = new File ("file-path\\file-name");
eg. File namefile = new File("C:\\Workspace\\myapplication\\mydata.xml")

But instead of that 'mydata.xml', i would like to get the file name from the user input and accept it with variable and then I will search it whether it exists in the folder I specified, in that case, I know the location except the file name coz the user will input it.

File namefile = new File("C:\\Worksapce\\myapplication\\variable-for-user-input")

how can I do this?

Thanks in advance!!

Use the Scanner class to get the user's file name (if from command prompt) or JOptionPane class if GUI based and then just tack it on to your path:

File namefile = new File("C:\\Worksapce\\myapplication\\" + variable-for-user-input);

Also check out JFileChooser... This way you do not have to deal with incorrect user input... If your app is GUI...
