Thread: Checkin if a file exist within a directory

How do I check if a file typed in by the user in the FileDialog exist in the directory. if the file is not found or existed in teh directory a certain message is displayed. I do not know how to do that. Could I get some help.
FileDialog fileWindow = new FileDialog(new Frame(),"Tash & David's File Founder System");
fileWindow.setVisible(true);


if (fileWindow.getFile() != null) {

File fileDirectory = new File(fileWindow.getDirectory());

String[] Directory = fileDirectory.list();

for (; i < Directory.length; i++) {


if(Directory[i].startsWith(fileWindow.getFile())){

System.out.print("yes");


}


}


}
else
JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "Are you Sure");
}

1. Use code tags for enclosing the code in tags.
2. Why don't you try File.exists()?
