Determine if file or directory exists

/*
  Determine if file or directory exists
  This Java example shows how to determine if a particular file or directory
  exists in the filesystem using exists method of Java File class.

import java.io.*;
 
public class DetermineIfFileExists {
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {
 
    //create file object
    File file = new File("C://FileIO/ExistsDemo.txt");
 
    /*
     * To determine whether specified file or directory exists, use
     * boolean exists() method of Java File class.
     *
     * This method returns true if a particular file or directory exists
     * at specified path in the filesystem, false otherwise.

     boolean blnExists = file.exists();
 
     System.out.println("Does file " + file.getPath() + " exist ?: " + blnExists);

/*
Output would be
Does file C:\FileIO\ExistsDemo.txt exist ?: true
