How to split a file path with path and name seperated

How do we split a file path for example

String path=file:\C:\Users\id\work\target\test-classes\ean\sample.txt
to
String filePath=file:\C:\Users\id\work\target\test-classes\ean\
String filename=sample.txt

The functionality required is to use 

Paths.get(filePath,filename)

If you create a FileInfo object from your file (add using System.IO) you can use the FullName property with Replace() to get the path, and the Name property for the name.

using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using System.IO;

namespace Generic_Unit_Tests
{
    [TestClass]
    public class FileAndPathTest
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void GetFileNameAndPathTest()
        {
            string fullFileName = @"C:\Users\joey\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Repo Docs and Notes\TestFile.txt";
            string filePath = string.Empty;
            string fileName = string.Empty;
            FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(fullFileName);
            filePath = fi.FullName.Replace(fi.Name, string.Empty);
            fileName = fi.Name;
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Path: {0}", filePath));
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("File Name: {0}", fileName));
        }
    }
}

And the result:

Test Name: GetFileNameAndPathTest Test Outcome: Passed Result StandardOutput:
Path: C:\Users\joey\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Repo Docs and Notes\ File Name: TestFile.txt

And Bob's your uncle.

You can use file.getParent() to get the directory path.

And file.getName() to get the file name.
