How would I get all the files in a directory? Equivalent to doing a dir *.* ... ?

Look into java.io.File list method. You may want to write a java.io.FilenameFilter to select the files you want out of the directory.
Let us know if those are enough clues to go on, or if you'd like some samples.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
