Java - Absolute path

Tricks here is first create a temporary and get the absolute path.

package com.mkyong.file;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class GetTempFilePathExample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try{
//create a temp file
File temp = File.createTempFile("temp-file-name", ".tmp");

System.out.println("Temp file : " + temp.getAbsolutePath());

//Get tempropary file path
String absolutePath = temp.getAbsolutePath();
String tempFilePath = absolutePath.
substring(0,absolutePath.lastIndexOf(File.separator));

System.out.println("Temp file path : " + tempFilePath);
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
