Answer 1

If it has to match only the path of files lying on the same machine where your app is running, then you can use:

try{
    java.nio.file.Paths.get(yourPath);
}(catch InvalidPathException err){
}

So if you're running your app on windows the code above will catch invalid windows paths and if you're running on unix, it will catch invalid unix paths, etc.
