Copying files from one directory to another in Jav

Question

I want to copy files from one directory to another (subdirectory) using Java. I have a directory, dir, with text files. I iterate over the first 20 files in dir, and want to copy them to another directory in the dir directory, which I have created right before the iteration. In the code, I want to copy the review (which represents the ith text file or review) to trainingDir. How can I do this? There seems not to be such a function (or I couldn't find). Thank you.

boolean success = false;
File[] reviews = dir.listFiles();
String trainingDir = dir.getAbsolutePath() + "/trainingData";
File trDir = new File(trainingDir);
success = trDir.mkdir();
for(int i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
    File review = reviews[i];

}

    File file = fileChooser.getSelectedFile();
    String selected = fc.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath();
     File srcDir = new File(selected);
     FileInputStream fii;
     FileOutputStream fio;
    try {
         fii = new FileInputStream(srcDir);
         fio = new FileOutputStream("C:\\LOvE.txt");
         byte [] b=new byte[1024];
         int i=0;
        try {
            while ((fii.read(b)) > 0)
            {

              System.out.println(b);
              fio.write(b);
            }
            fii.close();
            fio.close();

File dir = new File("D:\\mital\\filestore");
File[] files = dir.listFiles(new File_Filter("*"+ strLine + "*.txt"));
for (File file : files){    
    System.out.println(file.getName());

    try {
        String sourceFile=dir+"\\"+file.getName();
        String destinationFile="D:\\mital\\storefile\\"+file.getName();
        FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(sourceFile);
        FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(
                        destinationFile);
        int bufferSize;
        byte[] bufffer = new byte[512];
        while ((bufferSize = fileInputStream.read(bufffer)) > 0) {
            fileOutputStream.write(bufffer, 0, bufferSize);
        }
        fileInputStream.close();
        fileOutputStream.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

following code to copy files from one directory to another

File destFile = new File(targetDir.getAbsolutePath() + File.separator
    + file.getName());
try {
  showMessage("Copying " + file.getName());
  in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
  out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(destFile));
  int n;
  while ((n = in.read()) != -1) {
    out.write(n);
  }
  showMessage("Copied " + file.getName());
} catch (Exception e) {
  showMessage("Cannot copy file " + file.getAbsolutePath());
} finally {
  if (in != null)
    try {
      in.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
  if (out != null)
    try {
      out.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
}

You can use the following code to copy files from one directory to another

public static void copyFile(File sourceFile, File destFile) throws IOException {
        InputStream in = null;
        OutputStream out = null;
        try {
            in = new FileInputStream(sourceFile);
            out = new FileOutputStream(destFile);
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int length;
            while ((length = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                out.write(buffer, 0, length);
            }
        } catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        finally {
            in.close();
            out.close();
        }
    }

apache commons Fileutils is handy. you can do below activities.

1. copying file from one directory to another directory.

   use copyFileToDirectory(File srcFile, File destDir)

2. copying directory from one directory to another directory.

   use copyDirectory(File srcDir, File destDir)

3. copying contents of one file to another

   use static void copyFile(File srcFile, File destFile)
