Read file with whitespace in its path using Java

File name with space works just fine

Here is my code

File f = new File("/Windows/F/Programming/Projects/NetBeans/TestApplications/database prop.properties");
        System.out.println(f.exists());
        try
        {
            FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream(f);
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException ex)
        {
            System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
        }

f.exists() returns true always without any problem

Looks like you have a problem rather with the file separator than the whitespace in your file names. Have you tried using

System.getProperty("file.separator")

instead of your '/' in the path variable?
