UR getFile() in Java

getFile(): This method is available in the java.net.URL class of Java.

Syntax:

String java.net.URL.getFile()

This method gets the file name of this URL. The returned file portion will be the same as getPath(), plus the concatenation of the value of getQuery(), if any.

If there is no query portion, this method and getPath() will return identical results.

Parameters: NA

Returns: the file name of this URL, or an empty string if one does not exist.

Exceptions: NA

Approach

Java

package com.URL;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

public class URLgetFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {

        String protocol = "http", host = "localhost", file = "/hello";
        int port = 8089;
        URL url = new URL(protocol, host, port, file);

        System.out.println(url.getFile());
    }
}

Output:

/hello
