Re: Using the list method in the File class

Like I said, when I print b, I get some gobbledygook which shouldn't happen.


Your gobbledygook may be just what is expected. Given this example,

String[] s = { "foo", "bar", "baz" };
System.out.println(s);

If you want to print out the values in an array, you must iterate:

for (int i=0; i < s.length; i++)
{
    System.out.println(s[i]);
}
