Need to read all files in a foldert to a list BUT HOW !

Hi guys
Thanks for all the help I have been getting here. I just wish I could help someone else, but that day will come. Well I hope so.
I would like to know the best way (no the easiest way) of reading the entire file in a folder into a list.
Can someone point me or show me how this is done?
I possible to show me a snippet of code to get me started would be great
Thanks
Craig

Here is some untested code:
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
File dir = new File("C:/winnt");
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
// You wanted it in a list. I guess you just mean a java.util.List.
List fileList = Arrays.asList(files);Jesper

  • How  to read all files  under a folder directory in FTP site

    Hi Experts,
    I use this SQL to read data from a file in FTP site. utl_file.fopen('ORALOAD', file_name,'r');
    But this need to fixed file name in a directory. However, client generate output file with auto finename.
    SO do we have any way to read all file by utl_file.fopen('ORALOAD', file_name,'r');
    We need to read all file info. because client claim for security issue and does not to overwirte output file name,
    we must find a way to read all file in output directory.
    Thanks for help!!!
    Jim

    If you use Chris Poole's XUTL_FTL package, I believe that contains functions that allows you to query the directory contents.

  • Reading all files on directory using "utl_file" package...

    I need to read all files in directory via PL/SQL. I don't know
    name files (are data dynamics create for automation system),
    only I know your extensions.
    Can I do this using the package "utl_file" or I need to create
    program in another language (C, C++, for example)?
    Any ideas...
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    you can't do that with the UTL_FILE package (it can't retrieve
    file names).
    A very simple solution would be, if you created on OS-level a
    file which contains the filenames of directory and then read this
    file using UTL_FILE. With the information on all file names you
    can enter a loop which opens and reads all files again using
    UTL_FILE.
    A more mundane solution could be to use the features on the iFS.
    Cheers

    Hi Nishant!
    When you use 'for all entries' SAP (or database?) does a 'delete adjacent duplicates' on the result. This is necessary because of the special selection technique in this case.
    You need to select enough columns from /sapsll/prt, so that your two entries will differ in the result.

  • Hard drive failing on Macbook 13" OS 10.7.3 Need to xfer all files to an iMAC 21.5. How to do this?

    Hard drive failing on Macbook 13" OS 10.7.3 Need to xfer all files to an iMAC 21.5. How to do this?

    Can you boot the MacBook into FireWire Target Disk mode? That turns it (temporarily) into an expensive hard drive. You can then move files.
    Another way would be to use an external hard drive, attach it to the MacBook and user software such as Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the hard drive (assuming you have sufficient space on the iMac.)
    Best of luck. Please keep your data backed up in the future to avoid this. It'll make your life easier.

  • Reading all files in directory

    Hi

  • Newbie question -  How to read all files for a backup

    Hello all,
    I have two users on my iMac. I am an administrator and the other user is a Standard user.
    From my account, I wish to run backup software that will backup the entire "User" directory. The problem I am having is that when I run the backup software (fyi: iBackup),
    it complains that it cannot read the files in the other user's account.
    I notice that when I browse to the other user's account, all the directories in their home folder are locked.
    How can I run my backup software so that it can read all files in the User directory?
    Thank you kindly!

    Hi kneecarrot !
    I don't know if this will suit your needs, but one easy way of backing up other user's stuff is via the terminal . If you have an admin accountm just use:
    sudo ditto -rsrcFork /Users /Volumes/"nameof_anotherharddrive"/Users
    This will perform an identical clone of all your users home direcories for backup purposes. To restore the bkd'up files, just reverse the lines:
    sudo ditto -rsrcFork /Volumes/"nameof_anotherharddrive"/Users /Users
    ATTENTION: Be aware that it will restore the files to the exact structure and contents it was when backed up, erasing all new and modified files!! You may however copy just the files/folders you want to recover, e.g.:
    sudo ditto -rsrcFork /Volumes/"nameof_another_harddrive"/Users/"usera"/Documents /Users/"user_a"/Documents
    IMPORTANT: As with all terminal commands... be careful, think twice and double-check the syntax. You may want to test with non-critical stuff or demo user accounts first.
    Good luck,

  • 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
