Question

I want to Copy an xml file from one directory to other directory. I've used Files.copy(source, target, REPLACE_EXISTING).But i am getting it as a text file.I want it as xml. Please help.

Source and Destination are in different drives.Is this possible? — pparitala, Jan 19 '17 at 13:05
File input = new File("C:\\channels\\AllState\\moretrench\\Test.Allstate.Moretrench_Environmental_Services - Copy.xml"); File destFile1 = new File("D:\\New folder\\AllState\\moretrench\\Test.Allstate.Moretrench_Environmental_Services - Copy.xml"); Files.copy(input.toPath(), destFile1.toPath(),REPLACE_EXISTING); — pparitala, Jan 19 '17 at 13:06

In case you are asking: "I got a text file A.txt in one directory, and I want to represent the content of that file as some B.xml in another directory" ... well, then simple: you will have to

parse that text file (identify the information within)
decide how to "model" that in an XML like document structure
write that as XML

There is simply no generic way of transforming any kind of "text" into XML.

I just want C:\Folder1\A.xml to be copied in D:\NewFolder\B.xml – pparitala Jan 19 '17 at 13:47
Sorry, but then your question doesn't make much sense. You got two files, and you already mentioned that you know how to copy them using Java library calls. So *what* is your problem then?! – GhostCat Jan 19 '17 at 13:52
I got it.Thank you Ghost.. – pparitala Jan 19 '17 at 14:12
