1.File oldf = new File(oldFileName);
File newf =null;
if (oldf != null) {
newf = new File(newFileName);
oldf.renameTo(newf);
}
2. 以前我一直以为File#renameTo(File)方法与OS下面的 move/mv 命令是相同的,可以达到改名、移动文件的目的。不过后来经常发现问题:File#renameTo(File)方法会返回失败(false),文件没有移动,又查不出原因,再后来干脆弃用该方法,自己实现一个copy方法,问题倒是再也没有出现过。
昨天老板同学又遇到这个问题,File#renameTo(File)方法在windows下面工作的好好的,在linux下偶尔又失灵了。回到家我扫了一遍JDK中File#renameTo(File)方法的源代码,发现它调用的是一个本地的方法(native method),无法再跟踪下去。网上有人说该方法在window下是正常的,在linux下面是不正常的。这个很难说通,SUN不可能搞出这种平台不一致的代码出来啊。
后面在SUN的官方论坛上看到有人提到这个问题“works on windows, don't work on linux”,后面有人回复说是“file systems”不一样。究竟怎么不一样呢?还是没有想出来...
后面在一个论坛里面发现了某人关于这个问题的阐述:
In the Unix'esque O/S's you cannot renameTo() across file systems. This behavior is different than the Unix "mv" command. When crossing file systems mv does a copy and delete which is what you'll have to do if this is the case.
The same thing would happen on Windows if you tried to renameTo a different drive, i.e. C: -> D:
终于明白咯。
做个实验:
以下是代码片段:
1 File sourceFile = new File("c:/test.txt");
2 File targetFile1 = new File("e:/test.txt");
3 File targetFile2 = new File("d:/test.txt");
4 System.out.println("source file is exist? " + sourceFile.exists() + ", source file => " + sourceFile);
5 System.out.println(targetFile1 + " is exist? " + targetFile1.exists());
6 System.out.println("rename to " + targetFile1 + " => " + sourceFile.renameTo(targetFile1));
7 System.out.println("source file is exist? " + sourceFile.exists() + ", source file => " + sourceFile);
8 System.out.println(targetFile2 + " is exist? " + targetFile2.exists());
9 System.out.println("rename to " + targetFile2 + " => " + sourceFile.renameTo(targetFile2)); 结果:
以下是代码片段: 1 source file is exist? true, source file => c:\test.txt 2 e:\test.txt is exist? false 3 rename to e:\test.txt => false 4 source file is exist? true, source file => c:\test.txt 5 d:\test.txt is exist? false 6 rename to d:\test.txt => true
