java - I am having trouble making a directory while iterating through a text file -

i new java , trying tie separate code, "making directory" , "reading text file". have far:

    import java.io.*;  public class filedir {     public static void main(string[] args){         boolean dirflag = false;      try {         file myfile = new file("michael.txt");         file folder = new file("/users/chucknorr/desktop/");         filereader filereader = new filereader(myfile);          bufferedreader reader = new bufferedreader (filereader);          string line= null;         while((line= reader.readline()) != null) {           dirflag = folder.mkdir(line);          }         reader.close();      } catch(exception ex){         ex.printstacktrace();     }      } } 

i understand not correct, failed attempt tie code together. dirflag = folder.mkdir(line);

any appreciated, thanks!

there's no such method file#mkdir(string)

instead use...

file subfolder = new file(folder, line); if (!subfolder.mkdirs()) {     // deal situations sub folder wasn't created } 

for example.

take closer @ java.io.file java docs
