thanks. above java class.

you mistakingly assume text.txt not directory name.

mkdirs() creates directory (and directories needed create it). in case 'text.txt'

see here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/io/file.html#mkdirs().

it fine directory have . in it.

you use getparentfile() directory want create , use mkdirs() on that.
