How to update the xml file using java with folder space path?

Question

String filepath = "C:/UIDriverProject/UIDriverPro/Test Folder/TESTDATA/TEST.dat";
DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = 
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = docBuilder.parse(filepath);

String filepath = "C:/UIDriverProject/UIDriverPro/Test Folder/TESTDATA/TEST.dat";

I'm using the FILE PATH with space - "Test Folder". If i give folder without space its working perfectly but with space its saying error message like below error message.

Your problem is that the document builder coverts spaces to %20 to be URL safe, yet it is not opening a URL, just a file. Does document builder supports URL type as input? If yes, you could try file://C:/... ... — Oleg Sklyar

You should try this:

    String filepath = "C:/UIDriverProject/UIDriverPro/Test Folder/TESTDATA/TEST.dat";
    URI file = new File(filepath).toURI();
    DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document doc = docBuilder.parse(file.toURL().toString());

Converting to URI object makes sure that the whitespaces are taken care for URI file = new File(filepath).toURI();
