import java.io.*;

class teste
{
   public static void main( String args[] )
   {

      if( args != null && args.length > 0 )
      {

          if( args[0] != null && args[1] != null)
          {
             if( findFile( new File( args[0] ), args[1] ) <= 0 )
             {
                 System.out.println("File not found!");
             }
          }
          else
          {
             System.out.println("Parameter not found!");
          }
      }
      else
      {
         System.out.println("Parameter not found!");
      }
  }

  public static int findFile( File pDir, String word )
  {
     int count = 0;
     File[] arrFile = pDir.listFiles();
     File tmp;

     // First look into this folder
     for (int i=0; i<arrFile.length; i++)
     {
        tmp = arrFile[i];
        if ( tmp.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(word))
        {
            System.out.println(tmp);
            count++;
        }
     }

     //now look into sub folders
     for (int i=0; i<arrFile.length; i++)
     {
       tmp = arrFile[i];
       if( tmp.isDirectory() )
       {
          findFile( tmp, word );
       }
     }
     return count;
  }
