Description
The following code shows how to compare two path with compareTo.
Example
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
//w w w . ja v a2s . com
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Path path1 = Paths.get("/home/docs/users.txt");
Path path2 = Paths.get("/home/docs/users.txt");
Path path3 = Paths.get("/home/music/A.mp3");
testCompareTo(path1, path2);
testCompareTo(path1, path3);
}
private static void testCompareTo(Path path1, Path path2) {
if (path1.compareTo(path2) == 0) {
System.out.println("identical");
} else {
System.out.println("NOT identical");
}
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
