Need to scan folders for specific files

Im trying to write a class that will go through a folder and all its subfolders scanning for files with specific extentions. I have no idea where to start with this. It would be great to get a modist push in the right direction.

and all its subfoldersAdditionally to 571053 post, you'll have to do it recursively.

Search For Specific File Type (eg .txt)

I know how how to find files in a folder using Java but how do you search for specific file types. I am looking only include files with the extension .txt in my search.

Cheers. I already looked at that. Got a program that parses a XML and had a play about with it. Can print the contents of tags in my XML. Its just that im trying to parse my XML and have the contents of the starts_with tag to appear in startsWith(or a variable to which this has been assigned) and the contents of the extension tag to appear in endsWith. Totally clueless on how to go about it.
Below is my class. Would be greatful if you have any ideas.
import java.io.File;
public class FindLatestFile {
             public static File getLatest(File thisDir){
                     long latestModDate = -1;
                     File latestFile = null;
                     File[] fileList = thisDir.listFiles();
                     for(int i=0; i < fileList.length; i++){
                         File file = fileList;
     if (file.lastModified() > latestModDate & (file.getName().startsWith("A") & file.getName().endsWith(".txt"))) {
     latestModDate = file.lastModified();
     latestFile = file;
                         return latestFile;

Any SYNC APPs that allow for specific file synchronization for the MacBook Pro??? Please advise..

Any recommendations for a sync app that allows for specific file synchronization rather than just a complete back-up program? I want to be able to synchronize certain files only on multiple external hard-drives?
FYI:[[Using a 15" MacBook Pro on Mac OSX Version 10.6.7, Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4GB RAM 1067MHz DDR3]]

I'm pretty sure you should keep Boot Camp 2.1, Scorpio.
I'm not sure about the driver only or complete reinstall question though.
Probably the best place for an answer to this would be over in the BootCamp "Installation and Storage" forum at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237 where the "specialists" in this sort of matter hang out.
Post a link to this thread over there as well, so that people will know what has already been suggested.

Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

No. This is NOT true. I've been battling with this for a couple hours.
I choose Export>Versions
choose
Subfolder Format: Project Name
no custom subfolder
Name Format: Current Version Name.
Aperture creates project folders for each image and names them Projects1, Projects2, Projects3 etc.
To be sure, I have no project named Projects
x
This particular Aperture library has 16 projects. you can see in the screen grab it's created more than 30 folders
If I uncheck the Subfolder, that is say NONE, I just get images and images and images, not in their project folders (of course, because I've said NONE, so why would it put them in project folders?)
I just want to export the entire library and have the versions placed in folders named by the projects from which they came.... ez enough, no?

Search computers for specific files in domain

I need to find specific files in computers in domain environment. I tried several scripts (VBS and PS1) but I couldn't find antything really works for me. How can I manage this using PowerShell? (PS: I am a total newbie)
Thank you very much.

As jrv mentioned, this forum is really for answering specific scripting questions. It's not a "write a specific script for me that meets my specifications" forum. Please understand that the forum participants are all volunteers and we really don't
have the resources to do free consulting. (See the forum guidelines at the top.)
If you need for someone to write a script for you, there is a
script request page. Be aware that you will need to write a detailed specification so the respondent knows exactly what you want to do. As with here, there is no guarantee of a response (or that someone will take the time to do this for you).
If this is critical to your business, you will probably need to pay a consultant.

Searching directories for specific file extensions

I wanted to try something, and that was to create a file with basic text loos it some where on the HD and make a program that would search the directories (So lets say you put in C:\bla\ ) for the file matching the extention (already set by the program) as say .doc - it would then open all of those files (while loop) and scan them recording data (which im not sure what yet) and printing specific data to a file
most of this I know how to do including nav to the directory, what i dont know how to do is make the program scan the directory for the file and open it.

Can you give me some examples of file listing and searching?I could, but so can google.
like links to documentation or examples of it in use?Bookmark this. [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/]. Always have it open when you're coding or even designing with Java.
open as in open to readStill not clear. You mean you just want your program to read in the contents of the file and manipulate them? Or do you want your program to display the file? Or do you want it to be "opened" by its default app, e.g. if it's a .doc file, open that document in Word?

Can I only search for specific file types?

Oftentimes I need to pickup just the InDesign file. I sort by type but there are word docs, images (lots of them!), web pages, etc. Is there a way to search in Client A's folder and all sub-folders for just InDesign files? Thx.

You can use the filter panel for this. Click on the triangle in front of
File Type (if it is not already open yet because it does so the moment there
are two or more different File types in the folder you pointed Bridge to)
Click on the File type you want to show and only those will appear in the
content window

Creating folders for data files on a Mac

On a Mac platform, I am interested in trying to programically create
folders (named by the user) for data files to be placed in. How can
this be done? Currently, if I send a path that includes new folders
that don't exist to the Write to Spreadsheet.vi, I get an error 7 (new
files don't exist). However if I manually create the folders before
executing the VI, the files are written correctly. How can I avoid this
last step. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in
advance.

Unable to change File Type for specific file extensions

Under Preferences->File Types different file extensions are assigned a file type e.g. The file extension .pkb is assigned the file type of PL/SQL. The file type of PL/SQL then opens the Code editor.
I have a user who would prefer to open .pkb files in the SQL Worksheet editor but I am unable to change the file type to SQL Script as the option is greyed out.
How do I change the File Type for these extensions? Is there a preferences file I need to change?
Version: 3.2.20.09
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
There is no preference but it turns out you can manually edit one of the preferences.xml files to force PL/SQL types to use the SQL worksheet editor. For SQL Developer 3.2.20.09.87 that file is system3.2.20.09.87\o.sqldeveloper.11.2.0.9.87\preferences.xml and will be located (on Windows 7, for example) in directory C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer
No guarantee this will work in future versions of the product, but for now you can add the following two xml blocks...
For example, for .pls, add to <extensionToContentTypeMap ...>
            <Item>
               <Key>.pls</Key>
               <Value>TEXT</Value>
            </Item>
and <userExtensionList>
            <Item>
               <docClassName>oracle.ide.db.model.SqlNode</docClassName>
               <userExtensions class="java.util.ArrayList">
                  <Item class="oracle.ide.config.DocumentExtensions$ExtInfo">
                     <extension>.pls</extension>
                     <locked>false</locked>
                  </Item>
               </userExtensions>
            </Item> I researched this a while back after reading through some forum thread where someone claimed the PL/SQL file extensions got opened in the SQL editor in his environment, but without stating any specific release information. Possibly it worked for him then due to different product behavior (whether intentional or a bug), or perhaps even due to the technique described above.

Volumes/folders for temporary files

Hello everybody. Can anyone explain how I can choose not only a volume for PS-temp-files but also a certain folder where PS should place it's tmp-files?
Our problem is that C:\ is full, and our admin is not amused to allow writing in the root of E:. Changing the system variable "temp" from "C:\temp" to "e:\temp" is "only a workaround and no solution" in his words. Any other ideas?
Win XP, PS 12.03, x32

Your admin thinks that you writing files to other disks in your system is something he doesn't want to allow you to do, and he doesn't offer any help in cleaning up your C: drive (or getting you a bigger one or another one)?
Assuming you're telling the whole story, it sounds like you may need a new admin! I'd suggest taking your inability to work this way up with your supervisor.
Here are observations about how Photoshop works:
Photoshop needs to write scratch files to the root folder of a drive letter on your system.
Photoshop writes some temporary files to the folder identified by your TEMP environment variable.
Photoshop may also, under some conditions, choose another (unspecified) folder, most likely a root folder of a drive letter on your system, to use for certain temporary files (e.g., those with _MVM_ in the name).
You can change the drive used for the scratch files using the Edit - Preference - Performance dialog, but Photoshop MUST have full permission to access the root folder of the drive. That's just the way it's designed.
You can change your TEMP environment variable as you mentioned, and that can be effective for moving temporary file access off your burdened C: drive for not only Photoshop but a lot of other apps as well.
No one has been able to discover a reliable method of ensuring the _MVM_ temporary files are written to a specific place, though some have observed that if the TEMP drive has plenty of space then it tends to use the TEMP folder. Last we heard from Adobe here on the forum on this subject, they were looking into where the Mondo Virtual Memory manager subsystem was programmed to write files.

P.S., While you're at it, you might inquire what plans your system administration people have for moving you off your obsolete operating system. XP is getting awfully long in the tooth. Maybe you can get a nice new computer out of the deal.

Need script to check for duplicate file names when copying a folder

Hello,
I am a new applescript user trying to write what I believe should be a simple script. I was planning on using the "add-new item alert" script as a template.
Basically I have people copying folders of photos into a library folder, but I don't want the Finder to copy the photo if it already exists in the library. The images in the library are organized into subfolders.
I need a script that will check all the file names in the new folder against all the file names in the library, and NOT add the new one if it already exists.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
C

I have a script that "kind of" works. The only problem I've seen is that it gets confused when filenames contain characters that are fine in Macland but not good in Unixland. Forward slashes are a good example of this.
In this case I have a folder in my home named "copytest" Inside copytest are two folders:
Source (containing the images to be added)
Dest (My existing library of images)
It also assumes that the folder of images to be added contains no sub-folders. Hope this helps.
tell application "Finder"
set theSource to folder "source" of folder "copytest" of home
set imagesToBeCopied to name of every file of theSource
end tell
repeat with theFile in imagesToBeCopied
try
if (do shell script "find -r ~/copytest/dest -name " & quoted form of (theFile as string)) is not equal to "" then
--The file exists. Don't copy it
else
--the file doesn't already exist. Copy it.
end if
on error
return "Failed while trying to check for existence of a file"
end try
end repeat

Need to Pass filename for archived file to FTP adapter using SynchRead

Hi
I am archiving the source file which i am reading using an FTP adapter, Operation- SynchRead.
In my case as the source filename is dynamic( abc_<timestamp>.xml) hence before the SynchRead, I am using a FTP List adapter to get the filename.
Currently,the archived file is getting name in pattern: encryptedToken_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.(e.g. wQ2c3w7Cj7Y6irWnRKqEu77_jD7kLtj6Uc0QCZIyjC4=_20121122_012453_0305)
I need to pass the sourceFilename(which i am getting from FTPList adapter) for the archived file also.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Regards,
Achal

Hi Neeraj,
While trying the above alternative, i am facing an issue when my source file is a .csv file. The file is getting recreated with the original filename and file content but without header.
As per the requirement i need the original file to be recreated. The header of .csv file has the field names.
Please let me know how should i configure my FTP adapter to read the header of the .csv file as well.
Thanks,
Achal

Searching for specific file extensions etc?

Is there a way to search for just, say: .jpegs or even 'Folder'?
An 'advanced' search if you will?
I know I can search and get all 'kinds'; .jpegs, folders, mail messages, .doc and then click on Kind and get them grouped.
BUT, can I just search for .jpegs etc on my computer??
Thank you!!
