IO stream

[sadeem]

hi ^_^
I have code to check if the file or directory can be read i'll display them content, and to check if they can be write so write to file extra sentence but for directory , create a new directory with the name "newDirectory" and create a new file called "newFile" inside that new directory "newDirectory". Otherwise, writing is not permitted and you display "Sorry we can't" on screen. then Rename the file newFile and give it a new name " oldFile"....

so I try to write simple code, it work with file but not with directory I don't know why??

can anyone help me to make the code work well ^_^

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Date;

public class Q1 {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("enter file or folder pathname :");
String s=scan.next();
try{
	File file=new File(s);
	
	
	if(file.exists()!=true)
		System.out.println("File or directory does not exist-Bye");
		else if(file.isFile()&&file.canRead()){
			BufferedReader input=new BufferedReader(new FileReader(s));
			String ch;
			while((ch=input.readLine()) != null)
			System.out.println(ch);}
		    else if(file.isDirectory()&&file.canRead()){String [] sl=file.list();
		    for (int i=0; i<sl.length;i++)
		    System.out.println(sl[i]);}	
		  
	        if(file.isFile()&&file.canWrite()){
			BufferedWriter bw=new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(s,true));
			bw.newLine();
			bw.write("Last but not least");
			bw.close();
			}
		    else if(file.isDirectory()&& file.canWrite()){
		    	File fd=new File(s);
		    fd.mkdir();	
			
			
			}else System.out.println("sorry");
	
	File file2=new File("newFile.txt");
	file2.renameTo(new File("oldFile.txt"));
	
			
		}//end try
        catch(FileNotFoundException ex){
			System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
		}//end catch
		catch(IOException ex){
			System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
		}//end catch

	
	
}//end main 

	
	}//end class

It works except for the mkdir part because you have to change s for the directory to be a new one. e.g.,

         else if (file.isDirectory() && file.canWrite()) {
            File fd = new File(s + "/foo"); // **** note change here ****
            fd.mkdir();
         } else

What do you mean by "check the main class"? Sorry but this doesn't make sense.

tank you all..
i want to create the new directory in the same path that user enter it , and in this new dir create new file.
i try to use
File class which its constructor..

File(File parent, String child)

but the code is still not work with directory..
