public final class FilenameUtil extends Object
Note: it's copied from Apache Commons IO developed at The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/), or under the Apache License 2.0. General filename and filepath manipulation utilities.

When dealing with filenames you can hit problems when moving from a Windows based development machine to a Unix based production machine. This class aims to help avoid those problems.

NOTE: You may be able to avoid using this class entirely simply by using JDK File objects and the two argument constructor File(File,String).

Most methods on this class are designed to work the same on both Unix and Windows. Those that don't include 'System', 'Unix' or 'Windows' in their name.

Most methods recognise both separators (forward and back), and both sets of prefixes. See the javadoc of each method for details.

This class defines six components within a filename (example C:\dev\project\file.txt):

  • the prefix - C:\
  • the path - dev\project\
  • the full path - C:\dev\project\
  • the name - file.txt
  • the base name - file
  • the extension - txt
Note that this class works best if directory filenames end with a separator. If you omit the last separator, it is impossible to determine if the filename corresponds to a file or a directory. As a result, we have chosen to say it corresponds to a file.

This class only supports Unix and Windows style names. Prefixes are matched as follows:

 Windows:
 a\b\c.txt           --> ""          --> relative
 \a\b\c.txt          --> "\"         --> current drive absolute
 C:a\b\c.txt         --> "C:"        --> drive relative
 C:\a\b\c.txt        --> "C:\"       --> absolute
 \\server\a\b\c.txt  --> "\\server\" --> UNC

 Unix:
 a/b/c.txt           --> ""          --> relative
 /a/b/c.txt          --> "/"         --> absolute
 ~/a/b/c.txt         --> "~/"        --> current user
 ~                   --> "~/"        --> current user (slash added)
 ~user/a/b/c.txt     --> "~user/"    --> named user
 ~user               --> "~user/"    --> named user (slash added)
 
Both prefix styles are matched always, irrespective of the machine that you are currently running on.

    • normalize

      public static String normalize(String filename)
      Normalizes a path, removing double and single dot path steps.

      This method normalizes a path to a standard format. The input may contain separators in either Unix or Windows format. The output will contain separators in the format of the system.

      A trailing slash will be retained. A double slash will be merged to a single slash (but UNC names are handled). A single dot path segment will be removed. A double dot will cause that path segment and the one before to be removed. If the double dot has no parent path segment to work with, null is returned.

      The output will be the same on both Unix and Windows except for the separator character.

       /foo//               -->   /foo/
       /foo/./              -->   /foo/

    • concat

      public static String concat(String basePath, String fullFilenameToAdd)
      Concatenates a filename to a base path using normal command line style rules.

      The effect is equivalent to resultant directory after changing directory to the first argument, followed by changing directory to the second argument.

      The first argument is the base path, the second is the path to concatenate. The returned path is always normalized via normalize(String), thus .. is handled.

      If pathToAdd is absolute (has an absolute prefix), then it will be normalized and returned. Otherwise, the paths will be joined, normalized and returned.

      The output will be the same on both Unix and Windows except for the separator character.

       /foo/ + bar          -->   /foo/bar
       /foo + bar           -->   /foo/bar
       /foo + /bar          -->   /bar
       /foo + C:/bar        -->   C:/bar
       /foo + C:bar         -->   C:bar (*)
       /foo/a/ + ../bar     -->   foo/bar
       /foo/ + ../../bar    -->   null
       /foo/ + /bar         -->   /bar
       /foo/.. + /bar       -->   /bar
       /foo + bar/c.txt     -->   /foo/bar/c.txt
       /foo/c.txt + bar     -->   /foo/c.txt/bar (!)
       
      (*) Note that the Windows relative drive prefix is unreliable when used with this method. (!) Note that the first parameter must be a path. If it ends with a name, then the name will be built into the concatenated path. If this might be a problem, use getFullPath(String) on the base path argument.
      Parameters:
      basePath - the base path to attach to, always treated as a path
      fullFilenameToAdd - the filename (or path) to attach to the base
      Returns:
      the concatenated path, or null if invalid. Null bytes inside string will be removed
    • directoryContains

      public static boolean directoryContains(String canonicalParent, String canonicalChild)
      Determines whether the parent directory contains the child element (a file or directory).

      The files names are expected to be normalized.

      Edge cases:
      • A directory must not be null: if null, throw IllegalArgumentException
      • A directory does not contain itself: return false
      • A null child file is not contained in any parent: return false
      Parameters:
      canonicalParent - the file to consider as the parent.
      canonicalChild - the file to consider as the child.
      Returns:
      true is the candidate leaf is under by the specified composite. False otherwise.

      • FileUtils#directoryContains(File, File)
    • separatorsToUnix

      public static String separatorsToUnix(String path)
      Converts all separators to the Unix separator of forward slash.
      Parameters:
      path - the path to be changed, null ignored
      Returns:
      the updated path
    • separatorsToWindows

      public static String separatorsToWindows(String path)
      Converts all separators to the Windows separator of backslash.
      Parameters:
      path - the path to be changed, null ignored
      Returns:
      the updated path
    • separatorsToSystem

      public static String separatorsToSystem(String path)
      Converts all separators to the system separator.
      Parameters:
      path - the path to be changed, null ignored
      Returns:
      the updated path
    • getPrefixLength

      public static int getPrefixLength(String filename)
      Returns the length of the filename prefix, such as C:/ or ~/.

      This method will handle a file in either Unix or Windows format.

      The prefix length includes the first slash in the full filename if applicable. Thus, it is possible that the length returned is greater than the length of the input string.

       Windows:
       a\b\c.txt           --> ""          --> relative
       \a\b\c.txt          --> "\"         --> current drive absolute
       C:a\b\c.txt         --> "C:"        --> drive relative
       C:\a\b\c.txt        --> "C:\"       --> absolute
       \\server\a\b\c.txt  --> "\\server\" --> UNC
       \\\a\b\c.txt        -->  error, length = -1
      
       Unix:
       a/b/c.txt           --> ""          --> relative
       /a/b/c.txt          --> "/"         --> absolute
       ~/a/b/c.txt         --> "~/"        --> current user
       ~                   --> "~/"        --> current user (slash added)
       ~user/a/b/c.txt     --> "~user/"    --> named user
       ~user               --> "~user/"    --> named user (slash added)
       //server/a/b/c.txt  --> "//server/"
       ///a/b/c.txt        --> error, length = -1
       

      The output will be the same irrespective of the machine that the code is running on. ie. both Unix and Windows prefixes are matched regardless. Note that a leading // (or \\) is used to indicate a UNC name on Windows. These must be followed by a server name, so double-slashes are not collapsed to a single slash at the start of the filename.

      Parameters:
      filename - the filename to find the prefix in, null returns -1
      Returns:
      the length of the prefix, -1 if invalid or null
    • indexOfLastSeparator

      public static int indexOfLastSeparator(String filename)
      Returns the index of the last directory separator character.

      This method will handle a file in either Unix or Windows format. The position of the last forward or backslash is returned.

      The output will be the same irrespective of the machine that the code is running on.

      Parameters:
      filename - the filename to find the last path separator in, null returns -1
      Returns:
      the index of the last separator character, or -1 if there is no such character
    • indexOfExtension

      public static int indexOfExtension(String filename)
      Returns the index of the last extension separator character, which is a dot.

      This method also checks that there is no directory separator after the last dot. To do this it uses indexOfLastSeparator(String) which will handle a file in either Unix or Windows format.

      The output will be the same irrespective of the machine that the code is running on.

      Parameters:
      filename - the filename to find the last extension separator in, null returns -1
      Returns:
      the index of the last extension separator character, or -1 if there is no such character
    • getPrefix

      public static String getPrefix(String filename)
      Gets the prefix from a full filename, such as C:/ or ~/.

      This method will handle a file in either Unix or Windows format. The prefix includes the first slash in the full filename where applicable.

       Windows:
       a\b\c.txt           --> ""          --> relative
       \a\b\c.txt          --> "\"         --> current drive absolute
       C:a\b\c.txt         --> "C:"        --> drive relative
       C:\a\b\c.txt        --> "C:\"       --> absolute
       \\server\a\b\c.txt  --> "\\server\" --> UNC
      
       Unix:
       a/b/c.txt           --> ""          --> relative
       /a/b/c.txt          --> "/"         --> absolute
       ~/a/b/c.txt         --> "~/"        --> current user
       ~                   --> "~/"        --> current user (slash added)
       ~user/a/b/c.txt     --> "~user/"    --> named user
       ~user               --> "~user/"    --> named user (slash added)
       

      The output will be the same irrespective of the machine that the code is running on. ie. both Unix and Windows prefixes are matched regardless.
