I implemented the following method to find a longest absolute file path.
public static int lengthLongestPath(String input) {
HashMap<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
if (input.length() == 0) return 0;
int maxLength = 0;
int subStringLength = 0;
int previousLevel = 0;
String[] paths = input.split("\n");
for (String path : paths) {
String[] substr = path.split("\t");
String dirOrFile = substr[substr.length-1];
int level = substr.length -1;
if(level <= previousLevel && level !=0){
previousLevel = level-1;
subStringLength = map.get(previousLevel);
}else if(level ==0){
subStringLength = 0;
}else{
previousLevel = level;
}
subStringLength += dirOrFile.length();
if(dirOrFile.contains(".")){
maxLength = Math.max(subStringLength+level, maxLength);
}
map.put(level, subStringLength);
}
return maxLength;
}
However, it is failing for the following input. The expected output is 528. But my output is 549.

Can someone help me find the issue with my code.
To give some back ground about the format of the string The following string represents: the following file path.
"dir\n\tsubdir1\n\t\tfile1.ext\n\t\tsubsubdir1\n\tsubdir2\n\t\tsubsubdir2\n\t\t\tfile2.ext"
dir
subdir1
file1.ext
subsubdir1
subdir2
subsubdir2
file2.ext
Simplifying your existing code gives the following, which returns the correct result for both of your examples:
public static int lengthLongestPath(String input) {
if (input.length() == 0)
return 0;
Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
int maxLength = 0;
String[] paths = input.split("\n");
for (String path : paths) {
String dirOrFile = path.replaceFirst("\\t*", "");
int level = path.lastIndexOf("\t") + 1;
int prefixLength = 0;
if (level > 0) {
prefixLength = map.get(level - 1);
}
int pathLength = prefixLength + dirOrFile.length();
if (dirOrFile.contains(".")) {
maxLength = Math.max(pathLength + level, maxLength);
}
map.put(level, pathLength);
}
return maxLength;
}
