Java - File getName() method

The Java File getName() method returns the last name of the pathname's name sequence, that means the name of the file or directory denoted by this abstract path name is returned.

Following is the declaration for java.io.File.getName() method −

public String getName()

NA

This method returns name of the file or directory or empty string if pathname's name sequence in empty.

NA

The following example shows the usage of Java File getName() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.io.File;

public class FileDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      File file = new File("C:/Users/Anand/Documents/example.txt");

      System.out.println("File Name: " + file.getName());
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

File Name: example.txt

• The full path "C:/Users/Anand/Documents/example.txt" is given.

• getName() extracts and returns only the file name "example.txt".

The following example shows the usage of Java File getName() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.io.File;

public class FileDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      File directory = new File("C:/Users/Anand/Documents/MyFolder");

      System.out.println("Directory Name: " + directory.getName());
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Directory Name: MyFolder

• The File object represents a directory, not a file.

• getName() extracts and returns only the directory name "MyFolder".

The following example shows the usage of Java File getName() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.io.File;

public class FileDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      File file = new File("example.txt"); // Relative path

      System.out.println("File Name: " + file.getName());
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

File Name: example.txt

• The file "example.txt" is specified without a full path.

• getName() simply returns "example.txt", as no directory information exists.
