Question

I am creating files with Java in Windows. This works:

String newFile = "c:/"+Utilities.timeFormat();
...
some code that creates a folder

This does not work:

String newFile = "c:/newDirectory/"+Utilities.timeFormat();
...
some code that creates a folder

Answer 1

You have to use File.mkdir() or File.mkdirs() method to create a folder.

EDIT:

 String path="c:/newDirectory";
 File file=new File(path);
 if(!file.exists())
     file.mkdirs(); // or file.mkdir()

 file=new File(path + "/" + Utilities.timeFormat());   
 if(file.createNewFile())
  {
  }
