The Following code helps to search for a file in directory and open its location

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.Desktop;
public class Filesearch2 {


    public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException {        
        Filesearch2 fs = new Filesearch2();
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Enter the file to be searched.. " );
        String name = scan.next();
        System.out.println("Enter the directory where to search ");
        String directory = scan.next();
        fs.findFile(name,new File(directory));
    }
    public void findFile(String name,File file1)throws IOException
    {      
        File[] list = file1.listFiles();       
        if(list!=null)  
     {                          
        for(File file2 : list)
        {            
            if (file2.isDirectory())
            {
                findFile(name,file2);             
            }
            else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase(file2.getName()))
            {                                                              
                System.out.println("Found");                
                System.out.println("File found at : "+file2.getParentFile());
                System.out.println("Path diectory: "+file2.getAbsolutePath());
                String p1 = ""+file2.getParentFile();
                File f2 = new File(p1);
                Desktop.getDesktop().open(f2);                               
            }                      
        }        
      }
    }        
}
