Are you talking about a [relative path](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21060992/how-does-java-resolve-a-relative-path-in-new-file)? — PM 77-1, Dec 22 '16 at 14:03

Using the nio api:

Path directory = Paths.get("/works/abc/");
Path drive = Paths.get("C:/"); // e.g.
Path result = drive.resolve(directory); // result: C:\works\abc

If you really need a file, you can use result.toFile()
