Verify which  parsed timestamp folder is closer to the current timestamp

Hi,
I have "n" number of timestamps in a folder like :-
2010_08_04_15_14_57 (yyyy_dd_mm_h_mm_ss)
2010_08_04_15_15_57
2010_08_04_15_16_57
From these folders I need to pickup the latest(recent) timestamp folder, here it is 2010_08_04_15_16_57. For this to happen I need to check if any of these timestamp folders is close to the current timestamp, so that i can make sure that particular folder is the recently created one? How to find that whether the timestamp folder is close to the current Timestamp, because Calendar & Date classes have the before() & after(), but there is no API to find which of these timstamp folders are close to the Current timestamp? Please shed some light into this.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.If there are no other type of files or folders in the the folder containing these time stamp folders then you can use File.listFiles() and use Arrays.sort() on them to give the most recent time stamp folder in the last element. If there are other types of folder and files, then it would be necessary to implement FileFilter and use File.listFiles(FileFilter). The advantage is you have a File reference to the time stamp folder you presumably ultimately need.

  • Is there any way to close just the "current tab" in firefox rather than all 3 or 4 that may be open and lose the entire web page?

    If I am on a website and open a few different pages, and then decide to go back to an earlier page, or close that particular page, I get a message that says you are about to close 3 tabs or 4 tabs etc. If I only want to close the "current tab" I am on, I was able to do that with Internet Explorer. Is there any way this can be done on Firefox?

    For more help, see the '''[[Tabbed browsing]]''' page.

  • Which of these cables is better for the current Macbooks?

    I have a 2008 Macbook, with the mini displayport that can't output audio. I decided to rectify this by buying this cable, which combines video from mini displayport and audio from USB into an HDMI cable:
    http://www.kanexlive.com/products/iAdapt20.html
    now, I might be getting one of the new Macbook Pros that will be coming out in the next month or so, or one of the current models if the new ones take too long. so i'm wondering if I should replace the cable I have with one of these:
    http://www.kanexlive.com/products/mdphdmi10ft.html
    or
    http://www.kanexlive.com/products/iAdaptV2.html
    should I go ahead and get the upgrade? I figure it would be an improvement since those give better quality audio. I'm also wondering how my current cable would perform when plugged into a MDP that send audio on its own. could that cause a problem, since I would be out putting audio through 2 ports into the same cable? also, I wonder if the newer cables might have any problems due to getting power from the MDP instead of USB, I don't know whether that makes a difference or not.

    It doesn't matter which one you get since the Atom CPU has a 667MHz FSB.
    If you install 800MHz RAM, it will simply run at 667MHz.

  • In FF 3, Intellimouse ("5" buttons) back button closes only the current tab. In FF4 it closes the window. I prefer the former. How can I get FF4 to do that?

    MS's Intellimouse has five "buttons" including the scroll wheel. I set left and right buttons to L-click & R-click (seems normal). I set left side button to Back and right side button to Close.
    In FF3, Close closes the current tab and Ctrl-W closes the window. In FF4, this is reversed -- Close closes the window and all its tabs and Ctrl-W closes the current tab -- not my preferred behavior.
    The behavior switch in FF4 may or may not have been a function of what somebody had for breakfast. It is was, then I'd like it switched back. If there was an important reason for the switch, I'd like to know.
    Until FF4 reverts to FF3 behavior, I'm probably stuck in FF3.
    In anyhow, thanks -- John Linford, Fort Worth

    Harley, thank you so much. I'll reload FF4 and re-set the settings.

  • Why does Firefox open another Start Page tab everytime I hit the home key (which take me to my homepage on the current tab)?

    When I hit the home key Firefox takes me back to my homepage (AOL) but also opens up a new Mozilla Firefox Start Page tab. I end up with a whole bunch of unwanted tabs.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == always

    Hello Ginna.
    Please check the following:
    Click on '''Tools> Options'''.
    Then click on '''General'''.
    Now, it should say: '''http://aol.com/''' (or similar), but please check if it has anything after that. For example, if there is a '''|''' after it, that tells FF to open up 2 pages when you hit the home button: AOL and the other page, which in this case is a blank page.
    If you see a '''|''' in there, go ahead and adjust it or remove it, if you'd like. If not, please report back here and let me know!

  • Firefox is always asking to close the current version before I can search when I have already done this.

    At times I am on and off the net a lot and quickly. I will close out the current version. Then find I have to re-connect. When I try to activate firefox again I get this message that I have to close the previous version or re-start my machine. Can I stop this from happening? It is annoying and frustrating. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Create a folder or file with the DATE as name?

    I am finalizing a backup routine that involves a couple of Time Machine backups, a couple of Clones (backs up once a week or once a month) and a couple of "manual" backups that I store off-site.
    Right now I have a txt file that I keep in my Home Folder with a underscore so that it shows up at the top of my Home Folder where I manually change the date so I can check that I have a current backup and/or I can know how current the backup is ("_20111126.txt" for today). Right now, between the Time Machine, the Clones and the "regular" backups I am not sure how to do this really easy in any other way.
    Today I realized that I would find it uber helpful to have a file that did this in an automated manner every day since I got into Time Machine to check this backup and the file is the same name for weeks at a time since I rarely change it.
    Is there a way to do this in an automated manner or in a way that is as visually immediate as this method?
    TIA for any help.

    Not to me. What if the renaming script works, but the backup fails? What if the backup works, but the renaming script fails?
    You should use a proper backup application. Such an application should keep a log and should provide proper notification of the results of the backup
    are you saying that there is some method to do this with software called "Chron" or with iCal?
    I'm saying that, if you want to run a script daily or on some specified date, the way to do it is with cron (without the h, sorry for the typo) or iCal.
    In fact, Apple says that one should use launchd instead of cron, but cron is still supported. Cron jobs are set with crontab, and there are plenty of examples and instructions on how to use it, as well as some GUIs for it.
    As to iCal, it's simply a matter of choosing to Run Script as an alarm for an event. (It's in the iCal help.)
    Here
    <http://superuser.com/questions/126907/how-can-i-get-a-script-to-run-every-day-on -mac-os-x>
    you'll find a succinct discussion of cron, launchd, and iCal, and links to more info on accomplishing this task.

    When formatting Dates in java I've usually used the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class which gives a lot of flexiblitity in choosing your format. You may want to refer to the java.util.Calendar object also. Note that Date formats are not synchronized.
    Here's a simple program that prints the current time in two formats:
    package example;
    import java.util.Date;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

  • Network folder opens/closes/disappears/reappears on its own (really)!

    I have an external drive hanging off my Airport Extreme and accessed wirelessly. I just created a new folder on the drive to save some files I want to share with another machine on my local network. I copied some files to it (which didn't appear in Finder, then did appear. Wierd I thought. Now I'm seeing the following behavior:
    - Open the network drive in Finder; Folder is at root level.
    - Every few seconds, the folder does the following;
    1 Folder Name switches from all upper (the way I created it) to lower case
    and back again.
    2 Folder disappears and reappears.
    - Goto 1
    - In addition, if I open the Folder (either with the turny triangle or by double clicking), the folder will open, display the contained files list, and then close itself and repeating the behavior above. I've never seen anything like this before. This Folder is the first I created on the network volume since "upgrading" to SL. All my software, system and otherwise, is up-to-date.
    I'm starting to wish I had followed my usual policy of not updating to a new version of anything until it had some shake-out time and a maintenance update.
    Any ideas?

    I understand your apparent concern that this is totally new and unique to the 10.6.1 install somehow breaking an apparently stable configuration - just be sure to check the basics as you go, and try to only make one change at a time.

  • How can i open the directory/​folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it?

    How can i open the directory/folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it? any example would be nice.
    thanks

    In the File I/O>>Advanced File Functions Palette is a function named "List directory". This function will give you two arrays. One contains the names of all subdirectories the other the names of all files. If you want to sort them by name use the array sort function. If you want to sort them by another attribute use the File/Directory Info function to get more data. Use a cluster which contains the attribut to sort and the original index of the name. Then sort this array.
