# Java Example - File Path Comparison
[ Java Example](#)
The following example demonstrates using the `filename.compareTo(another filename)` method of the `File` class to compare whether two file paths are in the same directory:
## Main.java File
```java
import java.io.File;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File file1 = new File("C:/File/demo1.txt");
File file2 = new File("C:/java/demo1.txt");
if (file1.compareTo(file2) == 0) {
System.out.println("File path consistent!");
} else {
System.out.println("File path inconsistent!");
}
}
}
The output of the above code is:
File path inconsistent!
