If you have a path which is the full path in the file system you can use:

IPath path = new Path("C:\\Users\\runtime-EclipseApplication\\Rule_Validate\\Sample_Test.h");

IWorkspaceRoot root = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot();

IFile file = root.getFileForLocation(path);

Note: The result may be null if the location is not in the workspace.

There are other APIs if you have a path relative to the workspace or a project/folder in the workspace.
