I'm not seeing a problem either with or without code tags. Can you be more specific?

[Marilyn de Queiroz]

I'm finding a problem when I try to post code that includes a for loop. I'll see what I can do to get this resolved.

Meanwhile, here is Mark's code:

import java.io.*;
public class one
{
    public static void main( String args[] )
    {
        String d = "c:\\file1\\test"; //directory
        File dir1 = new File( d ); //FileObject
        Test obj = new Test();
        String l2[] = dir1.list( obj );
        for( int x = 0; x < l2.length; ++x )
        System.out.println( l2[ x ]);
    }
}
    
class Test implements FilenameFilter 
{
    public static final File pdir = new File("c:\\file1\\test");
    public static final String pf = "nono.txt";
    public boolean accept( File f , String s )
    {
        f = pdir ;
        s = pf ;
        return true ;
    }
} 

Oops. forgot the question he had about the code.

i need help with code. it is printing all the files in the directory. It should not print the file (nono.txt) that was mentioned in the interface FilenameFilter. but the printing includes this file also. i need help with this part only. rest of the code works fine.

In order for it not to print that file you need to do a comparison against the filename and return false. Your method always returns true.

[mark stone]

class Test implements FilenameFilter
{
public static final File pdir = new File("c:\\file1\\test");
public static final String pf = "nono.txt";
public boolean accept( File f , String s )
{
f = pdir ;
s = pf ;
if(s=="nono.txt")return false;return true ;
}
}
is this correct ? well actually i don't get as to how this test condition should work. i tried inverting the condition as well.
In one case all the directory files are listed and in the second case no files are listed. is this how the method list() is supposed to work ?
I had thought that the listing would not include the file that has been mentioned in the method accept. can you please explain how the method accept() works and what is the aim to call the method list()

import java.io.*;
class Test implements FilenameFilter
{
    public static final File pdir = new File<"c:/java">;
    public static final String pf = "nono.txt";
    public static void main<String[] args>
    {
        Test t = new Test<>;
        String[] dirListing = pdir.list<t>;
        for<int i = 0; i < dirListing.length; i++>
        {
            System.out.println<dirListing[i]>;
        }
    }
    public boolean accept<File f , String s>
    {
    if<s.equals<pf>>
        return false;
    return true ;
    }
}

I had substitute < and > for parenthesis because to this error.

Please keep all posts regarding problems encountered when posting confined to the Javaranch forum, we have people from Infopop(the people who make the UBB software we use) checking out the problems people are having there.
There have been some problems encountered when we upgraded the UBB software, we are looking into them, however do make yourself heard in the Javaranch forum when you come across a problem.
