Things to ponder before moving to file:
================================
Closeable - It is an interface that needs to be implemented when accessing streams, you need to invoke the close() method either manually or automatically.
... - This three dots is a varargs. Meaning variable arguments. If you see this in a parameter, meaning you can input as many as you can as long as they are of the same type.
Atomic file operations - it is an operation that needs to completely performed or else fail.
Method chaining - this is a concept or technique to link one method after another to perform a series of operation to get the result you desired.
Path path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("//whatever strings in here");
Glob - it is like a string regular pattern expressions but this is use to specify a behavioral pattern in a file name or a directory.
syntax:
* - matches any number of characters
** - matches any number of characters but it crosses directory boundaries.
? - matches just one character
{} - matches a collection of sub patterns
{text} - matches the word text
{ta*} - matches any strings that starts with ta
[] - matches either a single character or if hyphen is use a range of character. You can use the following *, ?, and / inside the bracket. No need for escape character. If those three characters is not inside the bracket, you need the use the escape character / to match them.
[a-z, A-Z] - matches any letters either uppercase or lowercase
[e, s] - matches to either e or s only
=============================
sample of glob:
{doc*}.{txt, ppt} - match any string that begins with doc and ends with either the txt or ppt.
==============================
File Symbolic Link awareness - every method in a file will know if ever there is a symbolic link and it will provide you an option on what to do with it.
