Java Examples - Searching for Files in a Specified Directory
Java ExamplesThe following example demonstrates searching for all files starting with the letter 'b' in the C drive:
Main.java file
import java.io.*;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File dir = new File("C:");
FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
public boolean accept
(File dir, String name) {
return name.startsWith("b");
}
};
String[] children = dir.list(filter);
if (children == null) {
System.out.println("The directory does not exist or it is not a directory");
}
else {
for (int i=0; i < children.length; i++) {
String filename = children[i];
System.out.println(filename);
}
}
}
}
The output of the above code is:
