How to get a list of files under C:\Program Files?

Question

dir C:\"Program Files" in DOS will get me a list of files in the directory. But how could I do in Java to get the some results? To put it in two double quotes, does not work.
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Here is a small Java program that will read the contents of any directory for you:
readDir.java
==========
import java.io.*;
public class readDir {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         String[] dirArray=new File(args[0]).list();
         for (int i=0;i<dirArray.length;i++) System.out.println(dirArray[ i ]);
      } catch (Throwable exception) {
         exception.printStackTrace();
}Just compile the program and run it as follows:
java readDir "C:\Program Files"
;o)
