I want to move .pdf files and .jpg files to specific folder and after that save the specific location path to database. so far with the help of google, i could able to copying file to new location (not moving) and saving the new path to the database as seen on below code sets.
try {
JFileChooser choose = new JFileChooser();
choose.showOpenDialog(null);
File f = choose.getSelectedFile();
File sourceFile = new File(f.getAbsolutePath());
File destinationFile = new File("D:\\" + sourceFile.getName());
FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(sourceFile);
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(destinationFile);
int bufferSize;
byte[] bufffer = new byte[512];
while ((bufferSize = fileInputStream.read(bufffer)) > 0) {
fileOutputStream.write(bufffer, 0, bufferSize);
}
fileInputStream.close();
fileOutputStream.close();
}
catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
What i want to know is
Please help I'm tired of Googling for 2 and half weeks. thanks you everyone
