Get file name from FileReader object

Question

Is there a way to get the file name (spc.f) given the FileReader object (f1)?

What good coding practice if you want to remember the file name for later use - save it on a different line?

FileReader f1 = new FileReader("spc.f"); buffread1 = new BufferedReader (f1 ); String name = f1.getName(); // <------ Does something like this exist ?? 

Answer 1

Use the following code and using the java.io.File object, you can get the file name

 File file = new File("spc.f"); FileReader reader = new FileReader(file); file.getName(); 

Answer 2

You cannot get the file name from the reader.

But you have the file name before. This way you can save it for further process. Something like that

  String file_name= "spc.f"; FileReader f1 = new FileReader(file_name); buffread1 = new BufferedReader (f1 ); String name = file_name; // 

Answer 3

Save file_name in a separate String and select the place you want.

You cannot get the file_name object from FileReader .
