Why is "Path.startsWith" behavior different from "String.startsWith" behavior - even for "Path.getFilename"

I am using Java version 1.8.0_31.

I am trying to recursively access a directory tree using the FileVisitor interface. The program should print the name of all files in C:/books

whose filename starts with "Ver". There C:/books

are two files in the directory that start with "Ver", Version.yxy

and Version1.txt

. I tried to use file.getFileName().startsWith("Ver")

but this returns false.

Am I missing something? Here's my code:

public class FileVisitorTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        RetriveVersionFiles vFiles = new RetriveVersionFiles();
        try {
            Files.walkFileTree(Paths.get("c:", "books"), vFiles);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
         e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

class RetriveVersionFiles extends SimpleFileVisitor<Path> {

    public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attr) {
        System.out.println(file.getFileName().startsWith("Ver") + " "
              + file.getFileName());
        if (file.getFileName().startsWith("Ver")) {
            //not entering this if block
            System.out.println(file);
        }
        return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
   }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Output of the above code:

false Version.txt
false Version1.txt
