This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
I want to find the filenames of all the files in a directory and store as Strings. Could l have some pointers as to what API's l would use to: choose a directory find the filenames. Thanks Aran
The File class API should have everything you need to do that, specifically returning an array of Strings containing the names of all the files in a directory. You can also test to see if it is a directory or a file. Jason
There are two specific methods for listing the files in a directory. They are both in the class File. list() and listFiles() list() returns an array of Strings. listFiles() returns an array of File objects. There are also flavors of these two that incorporate filters for filenames.
