I am giving the path as This works fine under windows environment. But I want to change this according to linux system.
How to mention about the linux file path?

Is it something like below: B'cos under Linux, loops folder is under "/home/userrig/test/loops". Will it work? Thanks.

Linux doesn't use "\" in paths; it uses "/" instead, which doesn't need to be doubled. I'm not sure why most people don't realize this, but in most contexts Windows code is quite happy to use "/" as well. In any case, since the path is "/home/userrig/test/loops", the correct code is

String filePath = "/home/userrig/test/loops";
