Running multiple files

Question

Hello
I am trying to run multiple files with my java app on a Unix server. I compiled with javac, and run it thus:
java SNL *.mef
meaning I want to run all of the files with .mef suffix. Unfortunately it does nothing. If I just run one file at time this way:
java SNL bach.mef
it will work just fine. My main method looks like this:
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
if (args.length != 1) {
System.exit(-1);
} else {
File file = new File(args[0]);
SNL parseSNL = new SNL(file);
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
  if (args.length != 1) {
    System.err.println( "Usage: java SNL x.mef y.mef ..." );
    System.exit(-1);
  } else {
    for( int i=0; i<args.length; i++ ) {
      File file = new File( args[i] );
      System.out.println( "Parsing " + file.getAbsolutePath() + " ..." );
      SNL parseSNL = new SNL(file);
