Java File.renameTo(File) not working

Question

I\'m trying to list a directory\'s contents, and rename certain files.

public void run(String dirName) {
    try {
        File parDir = new File(dirName);
              


        

Answer 1

f.getName(); only returns the name of the folder, not the full path. So subbedName becomes a relative path file. Try something with f.getCanonicalPath() instead.
