How to list specific files in a directory

Hi. I have a FilanemeFilter derived class which works fine. The problem I have is how do I list the files in the subdirectory of the current directory?
I wrote sth like this but it doesn't work:
File dir = new File( File.separator + "components");What am I doing wrong?

Well, I know it doesn't work becouse I used the JFileChooser to check this out. I gave it as a constructor parameter. According to the docs if the given dir doesn't exist the JFileChooser opens the system default drectory, which under Windows happens to be MyDocuments folder. That's how I know.

How to list the files in a directory which are recently modififed few mins

Hi,
I need command to list the files in a directory which are modified few minutes ago in SunOS. like "find . -cmin 2 -print " which list files that are modified 2 mins ago in Linux platform.
Thanks in advance.

The find command that comes with solaris doesnt have the cmin operator. Only mtime whose option is days.
So install gnu find from sunfreeware which is the same one that comes with linux.

How to list hidden files in a directory with "ls" bash command?

I'm in the top visible directory of an iPod "IPOD (ADMIN" and I want to see the iTunes folder. How can I see the hidden folders? Alternatively is there a flag I can swtich to make them visible just inside the terminal application. I found a terminal command to do it in the Finder after you do a forced reboot.

FWIW. if these are not dot files or folders and they are hidden from finder view, you can do one of the following to make them finder visible:
chflags nohidden file-or-folder
Or if you have the developer tools installed:
/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a v file-or-folder
Use this technique instead of the finder option to make all hiden files visible.

How to list all files and directories in another directory

I need to be able to list all the directories and files in a directory. I need to write a servlet that allows me to create an html page that has a list of files in that directory and also list all the directories. That list of files will be put into an applet tag as a parameter for an applet that I have already written. I am assuming that reading directories/files recursively on a web server will be the same as reading directories/files on a local system, but I don't know how to do that either.

Hi,
Here is a method to rotate through a directory and put all the files into a Vector (files).
 * Iterates throught the files in the root file / directory that is passed
 * as a parameter. The files are loaded into a <code>Vector</code> for
 * processing later.
 * @param file the root directory or the file
 * that you wish to have inspected.
 public void loadFiles(File file) {
 if (file.isDirectory()) {
 File[] entry= file.listFiles();
 for (int i= 0; i < entry.length; i++) {
 if (entry.isFile()) {
 //Add the file to the list
 files.add(entry[i]);
 } else {
 if (entry[i].isDirectory()) {
 //Iterate over the entries again
 loadFiles(entry[i]);
 } else {
 if (file.isFile()) {
 //Add the file
 files.add(file);
See ya

Reading List of Files in a Directory

Hi,
I'm looking for some reference or perhaps an example of how to get LabView to show the files that are in a directory so that the user can choose the appropriate one to load in the run. Right now, I'm running my program with certain specific files in the directory and the list of files written into the program.
Thank you very much,
Rob Hal

I'm sure there are a number of example programs shipped with LV or that could be downloaded from the archives. Anyway, here is a quick example that read a directory content, fills a listbox, and display the selected file content as a string.

How you can Help
US101

here are the code to list your files
 File startDir = new File("your directory goes here" );
 File[] dirList = startDir.listFiles();
 if (startDir.isDirectory());
 out.print( startDir.getPath() );
 //Start cycling through the array for the file
 for ( int count = 0; count < dirList.length; count++ )
String fileName = dirList[count].getName();
 int index = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
 String newString = null;
 if (index >= 0)
 newString = fileName.substring(index, fileName.length());
 if ( newString.equalsIgnoreCase( ".txt"))
 if ( dirList[count].isDirectory())
 out.println( dirList[count].getName() );
 else
 out.println( dirList[count].getName());
 }//end else
 }// end if newstring
 }//end if index
 }//end for

How to get specific file based on last modified

Hi,
I have a problem.
what I am doing in my program is unzipping few files in c:\temp.
the folder structure is like this
c:\temp\patch\abc.doc
c:\temp\patch\abc.txt
c:\temp\patch\myfolder\xyz.doc
c:\temp\patch\myfolder\myFile\xyz.txt
what I mean to say is that, I have files bot directly in the folder patch or in subdirectories.
then what I have to do is that I have to perform some kind of verification on these files and from here i have to put it some other location.
so for getting the list of files in the directory I am doing this
File fileDir = new File("C:\\temp\\patch");
File[] fileList = fileDir.listFiles();what this does is returns all the subdirectories and files in the folder patch, but not the files in the subdirectory.
so I trried doing this
for(int j=0 ;j < fileList.length; j++){
String newFileName = fileList[j].getName();
String dir = File.separator + newFileName;
if(fileList[j].isDirectory()){
 newDir.append(dir);
 getFiles(newDir.toString());
 newDir = new StringBuffer();
 newDir.append(outputDir);
}this code works fine when i run it for the first time.
but when i run it second time it is giving some path like
C:\temp\patch\myFolderC:\temp\patch\myFolder
becasue alreday the folder temp contains the folders and files
what is the msitake?
And how do i get only the file that I am copying at this particular time excluding the earlier ones.

can you also tell me the modification required in the code.
Because thats where I am facaing the problem.
It would be of great help if you could give me the modified code of what I have written.
Since I am new to java I am not able to get the nuances of the code, but surely its a childs play for you I guess

List all files in a directory, not including the sub directories if any

Hi,
I have been looking around php.net for a bit and can not work
out how i list the files that are in a directory i.e.
www.site.com/directory/
I would like the names of each file to be placed in an array,
but not to have the sub directories in this list should there be
any.
I was given some code a while ago that done this but it
listed the sub directories and i would like them not in this list.
I do not have this code anymore and do not know where i got
it, so i can not get it amended to what i need.
please can someone tell me what line of code i should be
using.
thank you in advance for your help.

I spotted one error:
foreach($files_array as $file){
echo '<a
href="'.$path.'/'.$file.'">'.$file,'</a>';
should be:
foreach($files_array as $file){
echo '<a
href="'.$path.'/'.$file.'">'.$file.'</a>';
(a dot after $file, not a coma)

How to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports

I would like to know how to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports.
Thanks,

Please make your question more clear . Also mention the reports version.
1) If you are runnning reports in Unix, you can give
.... destype=file desformat=pdf desname=<filename>
in command line
Please refer docs below.
2) If by your question you mean
"My reports server is running in Windows but I want to ftp my files to Unix after creating it"
then the answer is that you can use pluggable destination "ftp"
.... destype=ftp desformat=pdf desname=<ftp url>

How to duplicate a file in a directory to another directory?

I am a student just has just learn some basic Java programming...May i know how to duplicate a file in a directory to another directory?
How to start in doing this?
Thank You

I was suggesting to use java to send commands to the system shell so to speak....
I don't know of a way to do this... under the File class you can delete files, but there is no provision to copy Files so to speak....
one way would to be to open the file you want to copy with a file reader, and then write it all out to your new file.
see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/FileReader.html for information of FileReaders

Getting the list of files in a directory by their last modified date

Dear friends,
I want to get the list of files in a directory sorted by their last modified date.
By default the file.list() or listFiles() return files sorted by their name in ascending order.
Please give me your suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
James.

Thanks friend,
I myself got the answer
here is my code:
public File[] getSortedFileList(File dir){
File[] originalList = dir.listFiles();
int numberOfFiles = originalList.length;
File[] sortedList = new File[numberOfFiles];
long[] lastModified = new long[numberOfFiles];
for(int i = 0; i < numberOfFiles; i++){
lastModified[i] = originalList.lastModified();
Arrays.sort(lastModified);
for(int i = 0; i < numberOfFiles; i++){
for(int k = 0; k < numberOfFiles; k++){
if(originalList[k].lastModified() == lastModified[i])
sortedList[i] = originalList[k];
System.out.println("The sorted file list is:" + sortedList[i]);
return sortedList;

How to list all files in a given directory?

How to list all the files in a given directory?

A possible recursive algorithm for printing all the files in a directory and its subdirectories is:
Print the name of the directory
for each file in the directory:
if the file is a directory:
Print its contents recursively
else
Print the name of the file.
Directory "games"
blackbox
Directory "CardGames"
cribbage
euchre
tetris
The Solution
This program lists the contents of a directory specified by
the user. The contents of subdirectories are also listed,
up to any level of nesting. Indentation is used to show
the level of nesting.
The user is asked to type in a directory name.
If the name entered by the user is not a directory, a
message is printed and the program ends.
import java.io.*;
public class RecursiveDirectoryList {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String directoryName; // Directory name entered by the user.
File directory; // File object referring to the directory.
TextIO.put("Enter a directory name: ");
directoryName = TextIO.getln().trim();
directory = new File(directoryName);
if (directory.isDirectory() == false) {
// Program needs a directory name. Print an error message.
if (directory.exists() == false)
TextIO.putln("There is no such directory!");
else
TextIO.putln("That file is not a directory.");
else {
// List the contents of directory, with no indentation
// at the top level.
listContents( directory, "" );
} // end main()
static void listContents(File dir, String indent) {
// A recursive subroutine that lists the contents of
// the directory dir, including the contents of its
// subdirectories to any level of nesting. It is assumed
// that dir is in fact a directory. The indent parameter
// is a string of blanks that is prepended to each item in
// the listing. It grows in length with each increase in
// the level of directory nesting.
String[] files; // List of names of files in the directory.
TextIO.putln(indent + "Directory \"" + dir.getName() + "\":");
indent += " "; // Increase the indentation for listing the contents.
files = dir.list();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
// If the file is a directory, list its contents
// recursively. Otherwise, just print its name.
File f = new File(dir, files);
if (f.isDirectory())
listContents(f, indent);
else
TextIO.putln(indent + files[i]);
} // end listContents()
} // end class RecursiveDirectoryList
Cheers,
Kosh!
