Message:

program that returns all the exe file in the system

Posted by swapnil on November 16, 2000 at 7:17 AM

hello,
here is a code for u that accepts two parameters through the command line. First one is the directory from which you want the special type of files(here for eg. the .exe files)
Second parameter , is meant for the file extension i.e.here .exe
But this program is designed to extract any type of file u wish from a particular directory.
The program goes like this....
.................................................................

import java.io.*;
public class filefiltering
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
File f=new File(args[0]);
if(f.exists() && f.isDirectory())
{
String s[]=f.list();
for (int i=0;i {
if(s[i].endsWith(args[1].toString()))
System.out.println(s[i]);
}
}
else
System.out.println("No file found with extension "+args[1]);
}
catch(Exception e)
{System.out.println("The error is :"+e.getMessage());}

}
}
...............................................................
hope this helps
regards,
swapnil
