Returns path of this File using the invariant separator '/' to separate the names in the name sequence.

isRooted

val File.isRooted: Boolean

Determines whether this file has a root or it represents a relative path.

nameWithoutExtension

val File.nameWithoutExtension: String

Returns file's name without an extension.

normalize

fun File.normalize(): File

Removes all . and resolves all possible .. in this file name. For instance, File("/foo/./bar/gav/../baaz").normalize() is File("/foo/bar/baaz").

outputStream

fun File.outputStream(): FileOutputStream

Constructs a new FileOutputStream of this file and returns it as a result.

printWriter

fun File.printWriter(
    charset: Charset = Charsets.UTF_8
): PrintWriter

Returns a new PrintWriter for writing the content of this file.

readBytes

fun File.readBytes(): ByteArray

Gets the entire content of this file as a byte array.

readLines

fun File.readLines(
    charset: Charset = Charsets.UTF_8
): List<String>

Reads the file content as a list of lines.

readText

fun File.readText(charset: Charset = Charsets.UTF_8): String

Gets the entire content of this file as a String using UTF-8 or specified charset.

reader

fun File.reader(
    charset: Charset = Charsets.UTF_8
): InputStreamReader

Returns a new FileReader for reading the content of this file.

relativeTo

fun File.relativeTo(base: File): File

Calculates the relative path for this file from base file. Note that the base file is treated as a directory. If this file matches the base file, then a File with empty path will be returned.

relativeToOrNull

fun File.relativeToOrNull(base: File): File?

Calculates the relative path for this file from base file. Note that the base file is treated as a directory. If this file matches the base file, then a File with empty path will be returned.

relativeToOrSelf

fun File.relativeToOrSelf(base: File): File

Calculates the relative path for this file from base file. Note that the base file is treated as a directory. If this file matches the base file, then a File with empty path will be returned.

resolve

fun File.resolve(relative: File): File

Adds relative file to this, considering this as a directory. If relative has a root, relative is returned back. For instance, File("/foo/bar").resolve(File("gav")) is File("/foo/bar/gav"). This function is complementary with relativeTo, so f.resolve(g.relativeTo(f)) == g should be always true except for different roots case.

fun File.resolve(relative: String): File

Adds relative name to this, considering this as a directory. If relative has a root, relative is returned back. For instance, File("/foo/bar").resolve("gav") is File("/foo/bar/gav").

resolveSibling

fun File.resolveSibling(relative: File): File

Adds relative file to this parent directory. If relative has a root or this has no parent directory, relative is returned back. For instance, File("/foo/bar").resolveSibling(File("gav")) is File("/foo/gav").

fun File.resolveSibling(relative: String): File

Adds relative name to this parent directory. If relative has a root or this has no parent directory, relative is returned back. For instance, File("/foo/bar").resolveSibling("gav") is File("/foo/gav").

startsWith

fun File.startsWith(other: File): Boolean

fun File.startsWith(other: String): Boolean

Determines whether this file belongs to the same root as other and starts with all components of other in the same order. So if other has N components, first N components of this must be the same as in other.

toRelativeString

fun File.toRelativeString(base: File): String

Calculates the relative path for this file from base file. Note that the base file is treated as a directory. If this file matches the base file, then an empty string will be returned.

useLines

fun <T> File.useLines(
    charset: Charset = Charsets.UTF_8, 
    block: (Sequence<String>) -> T
): T

Calls the block callback giving it a sequence of all the lines in this file and closes the reader once the processing is complete.

walk

fun File.walk(
    direction: FileWalkDirection = FileWalkDirection.TOP_DOWN
): FileTreeWalk

Gets a sequence for visiting this directory and all its content.

walkBottomUp

fun File.walkBottomUp(): FileTreeWalk

Gets a sequence for visiting this directory and all its content in bottom-up order. Depth-first search is used and directories are visited after all their files.

walkTopDown

fun File.walkTopDown(): FileTreeWalk

Gets a sequence for visiting this directory and all its content in top-down order. Depth-first search is used and directories are visited before all their files.

writeBytes

fun File.writeBytes(array: ByteArray)

Sets the content of this file as an array of bytes. If this file already exists, it becomes overwritten.

writeText

fun File.writeText(
    text: String, 
    charset: Charset = Charsets.UTF_8)

Sets the content of this file as text encoded using UTF-8 or specified charset. If this file exists, it becomes overwritten.

writer

fun File.writer(
    charset: Charset = Charsets.UTF_8
