Re: Search for a file on hard drive?

Hi,

        There is no perticular method for searching the files in folders and
the sub forlders of it.

        Usualy all programmers start searching from a perticular folder and
then start searching into its sub folders.       For doing the same
programmaticaly in Java U hv to give the following codec within a loop.
Use isFile() method of File class which returns "True" if the name specified
is a file and "False" if it is a folder....    If it is false just replace
the Folder name in File classe's constructor with the name specified and so
on.....     It all depends on how do U manage the loop...    The code is as
follow;

       File file = new File("C:\\");
       String [] files = file.list();
       for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
           if (files[i].endsWith(".exe")) {
                System.out.println(files[i]);
           }
       }
