Assume final String fname = "/dir1/dir2/fname.ext". I do not wish to parse the string recursively in order to create the directories if they do not exist, and only then write to a file. I wish to use the given string, fname, for creating the directories and file if each of which does not exist.

This is the code you are looking for:
File myFile = new File("/dir1/dir2/fname.ext");
myFile.getParentFile().mkdirs();
// do your writing being sure the parent directories exist.

Please correct to `myFile.getParentFile().mkdirs()` so I could mark your post as an answer; and... thank you. – Mr. Jul 08 '12 at 07:50

@MrRoth I think it was long corrected before you post your comment. – Boris Strandjev Jul 08 '12 at 07:55

You can use mkdirs to create the path.
File f = new File("/dir1/dir2/fname.ext");
f.getParentFile().mkdirs();
And then work on the file itself.
