Java的File对象

File对象在Java开发中经常需要碰到，其构造方法大家都比较熟悉了：

File(File dir,String name)
          使用File对象路径和文件名进行创建句柄File(String path)
          只使用路径创建句柄File(String dirPath,String name)
          使用字符路径和文件名来创建句柄File(URI uri)
          使用URI路径来创建句柄

在使用构造函数之后，这个File对象就存在了，你可以使用File.exists()来对其进行判断，存在则返回true。

Java使用介乎于UNIX和Windows的路径方法，前斜线“/”可以正确解释，而如果要使用反斜线“\”则需要进行转义序列“\\”，才能被解释器正确解释。

很重要的一点就是，Java的File对象可以是文件也可以是文件夹。所以当你使用

File file=new File("/java")；后

你返回的是文件夹，但是你在后面加一句

File fileNext=new File("/java/text.txt");

file使用isFile();的返回值就会变成了false。它变成了文件夹，也就是“目录”。

对于目录属性的File，我们可以使用list()来显示目录下的内容。
