Passing argstrings[1] to another method

Question

Hello I want to pass argstrings[1] to another method. Other stuff is being passed there to. Before I passed argstrings[1] the other stuff worked, now it does not.
Please tell me why I am getting compilation errors.
Thanks
public static void main(String[] argStrings)
        String filePath = null;
        if(argStrings.length != 0)
             filePath = argStrings[0];
        else
             System.out.println("Enter a directory please");// Else you have to enter a directory
             Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
                filePath = scan.nextLine();
        String copyDate = argStrings[1];
        Date dateToLookFor = new Date(copyDate);
        listFiles(filePath);// this no longer works as of the new log(datetolookfor)
        log(dateToLookFor);// just wanna pass this to the next method
   private static void log(File[] files, Date dateToLookFor)
   {

* This application identifies files which could potentially be archived
* and copied. A file is to be archived if the last modified date is more
* than 100 days ago. A file is to be copied if it has been modified since
* a given time. Only nominated extensions are to be considered. The java.
* util.Calendar class contains relevant methods for comparing times and dates.
* For instance, a command line of: java CrawlerApp Knuth 2005-12-28 php html
* Will nominate for archiving or copying only php or html files in the Knuth
* directory tree. It will only nominate for copying files modified after
* midnight on the 28th of December, 2005.
* The output from this application is two files (called archive.txt and copy.txt)
* containing the names of files to be archived, and those which may be copied.
* The names will follow the convention specified in the create application.
* These two text files must appear in the root directory (Knuth, in this example).
