I'm trying to save my file into a perticular directory. but i get the below Exception

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\News\nxis\NewFiles\I0cbf74105a2d11e5b730aca98fc673fd.nxi (The system cannot find the path specified)

Here the path that is available in real is

    String output = "D:\\News\\nxis\\" + replaceGuid + ".nxi";

But i'm trying to add a new folder inside it. I'm using the below command

    String output = "D:\\News\\nxis\\New Folder" + replaceGuid + ".nxi";

When i run my program with the second step. It throws me an error. please let me know how can i fix it.

Thanks

You should use File.separator (will select needed separator automatically depending on your OS) and be aware of your directory structure before opening the file to prevent such issues. — alexk, Oct 29 '15 at 12:34
You need to first check if the directory with the path specified exists or not, If not, you need to create it first then only you can create a file in that directory. — Vivek Singh, Oct 29 '15 at 12:34

this will fix your problem:

new File(output).mkdir();

mkdir() creates the directory named by this abstract pathname.

`new File(output).getParentFile().mkdirs();` or `mkdir`. – Joop Eggen Oct 29 '15 at 12:51

Make sure that D:\News\nxis\ directory path is existing if not you have to create it.
