FileDemo1.java

import java.io.File;

/*
 * Check if Path is File or Directory
 */
public class FileDemo1
{

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        File file = new File("D:/work/myfile.txt");
        /*
         * Tests whether the file denoted by this abstract
         * pathname is a normal file.
         * 
         * Returns: true if and only if the file denoted by
         * this abstract pathname exists and is a normal
         * file; false otherwise
         */
        boolean isFile = file.isFile();
        System.out.println("isFile = " + isFile);
    }

}

Output

isFile = true
