Read all text files in a directory?

[Gary kwlai]

Is there a package in java can read a directory's files one by one ?

Or it doesnt matter it will read a directory if the file path is only a directory? e.g. with scanner class instead of a specific file, can I just give it a directory path so it will read whatever text in that?

Have you checked out java.io.File? It has some methods for listing its children - which include both files and sub folders.
