import java.io.*;

class test_find 
{
   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 )
             {

  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++)
     {

            System.out.println(tmp);
            count++;
        }
     }
     //now look into sub folders
     for (int i=0; i<arrFile.length; i++)
     {
