We must read other File operations like - create, copy, move, rename, delete, exist?, append, hide/unHide, creation/lastModified/lastAccessed date, size, Read only and writable.
java.io.File's compareTo() method can be used to Compare file or Dictionary path.
Method returns 0 if both paths are same else both paths are not same

public class ComparePath {
public static void main(String... args) throws IOException {
String fileName1 = "c:/myFile.txt";
String fileName2 = "c:/myFile.txt";
File file1 = new File(fileName1);
File file2 = new File(fileName2);
if (file1.compareTo(file2) == 0)
System.out.println(fileName1 + " and " + fileName2 + " are same");
else
System.out.println(fileName1 + " and " + fileName2 + " are not same");
}
