How do I get the file extension of a file in Java?

by

In this case, use FilenameUtils.getExtension from Apache Commons IO

Here is an example of how to use it (you may specify either full path or just file name):

import org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils;

// ...

String ext1 = FilenameUtils.getExtension("/path/to/file/foo.txt"); // returns "txt"
String ext2 = FilenameUtils.getExtension("bar.exe"); // returns "exe"

Maven dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>commons-io</groupId>
  <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
  <version>2.6</version>
</dependency>

Gradle Groovy DSL

implementation 'commons-io:commons-io:2.6'

Gradle Kotlin DSL

implementation("commons-io:commons-io:2.6")
