Method Detail

mkdirs

boolean mkdirs(java.io.File directory)

Creates the directory named by the given abstract pathname, including any necessary but nonexistent parent directories. Note that if this operation fails it may have succeeded in creating some of the necessary parent directories.

Parameters:

directory - The directory to create, may be null.

Returns:

true if and only if the directory was created, along with all necessary parent directories; false otherwise

void write(java.io.File file,
           java.lang.String data)
           throws java.io.IOException

Writes the given data to a file. UTF-8 is assumed as encoding for the data. Creates the necessary directories for the target file. In case of an error, the created directories will be left on the file system.

Parameters:

file - The file to write to, must not be null. This file will be overwritten.

data - The data to write, may be null.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs.

copy

long copy(java.io.File source,
          java.io.File target,
          FileProcessor.ProgressListener listener)
          throws java.io.IOException

Copies the specified source file to the given target file. Creates the necessary directories for the target file. In case of an error, the created directories will be left on the file system.
