How to list sorted files in a folder?

I am in need of creating a java program which should perform the following.
1. Read ALL the files located under c:\main dir
2. Append the read files into a Email.log file in the order in which the files are created.
For example: main directory has three files. A.txt(created on Aug1st2009,10:00AM), B.txt(created on Aug1st2009,10:01AM),C.txt(created on Aug1st2009,10:02AM)
Email.log file should contain the contents of A.txt then B.txt then C.txt. The contents of old file should appear in the top and the content of latest file(C.txt) shouled appeared in the bottom of Email.log file.
Hope you understand my requirements. could you help me out in starting with sample code?

It is your job to write the code not ours. When you have done that and have encountered a problem then come back and ask a specific question including all the relevant information.
As far as I know there isn't anyway to determine the creation date of a File in core Java. There maybe a third party lib that can do it.

How can I sort files in a folder by name?

How can I sort files in a folder by name? iFS first sort files that starts with upper-case letter and then files with lower-case letter.
Like:
A_file
B_file
a_file
b_file
I want:
A-file
a_file
B_file
b_file
This doesn't help:
String[] sort_attributes = {"NAME"};
boolean [] sort_orders = {true};
SortSpecification sort = new SortSpecification(sort_attributes, sort_orders);
currentFolder.setSortSpecification(sort);
Do I have to get all items in a folder and then sort them?

I do not think there is a way to do that without add-ons
There are a couple of workarounds I am aware of
* Add the bookmarks manually in the bookmarks library and choose the position. That is using Show all bookmarks -> open required folder -> select a position and right click -> add new bookmark <br />Rather a slow and clumsy process
* Sort a folder and copy it. If you sort the folder contents then copy and paste them they remain in that order when pasted.
There are add-ons but I have not tried them. For example
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/simplesort-bookmarks/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/
There will be others available and take note of the advice to backup bookmarks manaully.

Manually sort files in a folder

Is there anyway to sort files in a folder manually?
Say I have 4 files. The would be arranged..
File A
File B
File C
File D
I want them to be
File B
File D
File A
File C
Is there ANYWAY to do this?
I can't sort them by size or anything like that cause it is going to be more then 100 files in this folder but I need them in a specific order.
Thank you

I could but it's folders of pictures I'm going to export to iPhone and I already have the year before the name (2009 Fall). Since it's going to show when it's on my iPad and iPhone it will be too many numbers before the actual name.
I refuse to use iPhoto. I tried it twice and there is just too much extra in there that I don't need that takes up too much storage (like faces and previews).
There has to be a way around it somehow... Getting Lightroom pictures on iPhone shouldn't be this hard..
Thanks for your help!

Printing a list of files in a folder

Is it possible to print a list of files in a folder?

Thanks for all your work-arounds. Here's a comparison which might be useful for others:
• Copying and pasting into a text file or word processor gave me a list of the titles;
• Dragging onto a printer in the dock gave me title, size and date; a little difficult to read across the lines as they are spaced across the whole width of my A4 page;
•Print Window (free version) gives a printout of the information in the window that you choose. The lines are quite widely spaced which makes it legible, but means it takes a lot of pages for a big folder;
• Print Window Advanced ($20) allows you to out put as a file, so you can design a format that suits you. I use Excel a lot for these kinds of tasks so this suits me very well. You can also print our a format for cd covers which—useful for archiving.

Just drag the file from the Download folder to the folder of your choice in Finder. If you are using Safari you can designate a new default download destination in Safari>Preferences>General tab, 'Save Downloads to...'. Other browsers should have a similar option in their preferences.

I need to know how to link 2 files in 1 folder

Can anyone tell me how to link 2 files in one folder? They are currently in the same folder but I need to link them.

Convert list of files in a folder to text?

Is there an easy way to convert the list of files in a folder into a text document? In other words I would like to create a text list of the names of all the files in a given folder - just the individual file names, not the entire path of each file.
Any ideas? Seems like there should be some simple way to do this.
Thanx!

If you copy the desired items in a Finder window and do a *Paste and match Style* into a TextEdit document, the file names will be pasted in. If you have TextWrangler (or BBEdit), dragging a folder into a document will give also you a list of the contents.

Put the files you want on the first page into the folder, and then use subfolders for the subsequent pages. If the process you saw involved Launchpad on a newer OS, it can’t be done on 10.6.8.

How to show the checked-out symbol in list of files in a folder

Hi,
When the folder is selected it is showing all the files in that folder. But, the user would not know which file had been checked out. In general it should show the lock symbol (As similar to Documentum, webtop) when a file had been checked out by some other user.
How to show the lock/key column in list of files. Any other way to find a file had been checked out or not instead of going into the content information.
Also, how do we add additional columns like author etc... to the list of files screen in UCM?
Please help

You should double check, but I don't believe that the check-out info is in the resultset. Because that information isn't available, the state of each row in the search results table cannot be defined. So, the first hurdle would be to add that info to the dataset.
The second hurdle would be to alter the UI to leverage that info (e.g., the key icon when checked out).
If you're looking to alter the folder views, then look to the COLLECTION_DISPLAY service & related template. Other views (e.g., search results) have different templates and backing services.

Making A List Of Files In A Folder

Is there a way to make a list of all the files and folders within a root folder? I have thousands of pictures of record label scans in folders by artist name. I'd like to compile a list of some sort of all the folder names and the file names. I tried doing a snapshot of the screen and/or window but it only shows what you see on the monitor not what you would normally need to scroll down to see, which is not many at all. Can anyone please help?? Thanks.

Hi sjaakad,
I second eww's thank-you for that tip! I saw eww's reply mentioning TextWrangler and having a little free time for tinkering I downloaded it and tried your suggestion:
The simplest way is to drag a folder symbol from the Finder into a new BBEdit window
That's neat stuff! I'm sure I'll find uses for this in the future....thanks again,

How to Read all files inside resource Folder inside Jar?

I have a Jar file,,,, The program reads for resource files in the resource folder inside the Jar. I want my program to read all files inside this folder without knowing the names or the number of files in the folder.
I am using this to make an Applet easy to be updated with spicific files. I just want to add a file inside the resource folder and Jar the program and automatically the program reads what ever is in there!!
I used the File class to get all file names inside the resource folder. it works fine before Jarring the program. After I jar I recieve a URI not Herarichy Exception!!
File fold=new java.io.File(getClass().getResource(folder).toURI());
String[] files=fold.list();
I hope the question is clear!!

How to get the directory and jar file that you class resides in:
// returns path and jarfile (ex: /home/mydir/my.jar)
public String getJarfileName()
        // Get the location of the jar file and the jar file name
        java.net.URL outputURL = YourClass.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation();
        String outputString = outputURL.toString();
        String[] parseString;
        int index1 = outputString.indexOf(":");
        int index2 = outputString.lastIndexOf(":");
        if (index1!=index2) // Windows/DOS uses C: naming convention
           parseString = outputString.split("file:/");
        else
           parseString = outputString.split("file:");
        String jarFilename = parseString[1];
       return jarFilename;
}If your my.jar was in /home/mydir, it will store "/home/mydir/my.jar" in jarFilename.
note: getLocation returns "file:/C:/home/mydir/my.jar" for Windows/DOS and "file:/home/mydir/my.jar" for windows, thus why I look for the first and last index of the colon so I can correctly split the string.
If you want to grab a file in the jar file and get an InputStream, do the following:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Enumeration;
// jar stuff
import java.util.jar.*;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
public class Jaris
   private JarFile jf;
   public Jaris(String jarFilename) throws Exception
       try
                       jf = new JarFile(jarFilename);
       catch (Exception e)
            jf=null;
            throw(e);
   public InputStream getInputStream(String matchString) throws Exception
       ZipEntry ze=null;
       try
          Enumeration resources = jf.entries();
          while ( resources.hasMoreElements() )
             JarEntry je = (JarEntry) resources.nextElement();
             // find a file that matches this string from anywhere in my jar file
             if ( je.getName().matches(".*\\"+matchString) )
                String filename=je.getName();
                ze=jf.getEntry(filename);
      catch (Exception e)
         throw(e);
      InputStream is = jf.getInputStream(ze);
      return is;
   // for testing the Jaris methods
   public static void main(String[] args)
      try
           String jarFilename=getJarfileName();
           Jaris jis = new Jaris(jarFilename); // this is the string we got from the other method listed above
           InputStream is=jis.getInputStream("myfile.txt"); // can be used for xml, xsl, etc
      catch (Exception e)
         // this is just a test, so we'll ignore the exception
}Happy coding! :)

Hi Amit,
you can not move specific changes from Dev to production.
but you can follow this process to make your workflow as it is as in Dev:
Create a new workflow on the new list in Product.
Create at least one step, one condition and one action in this workflow.
1. In Dev server open your .xomal file as XML and copy the entire contents.
2.In Production server Open your .xoml file as XML and Paste the entire contents
3. repeat this operation for the xoml.rules file
4.Double click the .xoml file for the new workflow to open the workflow in the Workflow Designer and click Check Workflow to verify no errors and then click Finish to ensure the workflow is saved.
Whenever you need to make changes apply the same.
Please Mark Answer and Vote me if it will to resolve your issue
