filenameFilter in linux directory

[nur rahayu]

Hi, i've a problem related with filenameFilter. My code is:

private boolean compareKunci(String kodeSoal) throws IOException {
final String kodeSoalNya = kodeSoal
...
 FilenameFilter fileNameFilter = new FilenameFilter() {
            boolean accept1;

            public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                if (name.startsWith(kodeSoalNya))
                {
                    accept1 = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    accept1 = false;
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                            "No answer available!");
                }
                
                return accept1;

            }
        };

      //the result is here!
        File dir = new File ("home/nnur/compareN");
        File[] searchResults = dir.listFiles(fileNameFilter);

    if (Arrays.equals(searchResults,null)) {JOptionPane.showMessageDialog
                (null, "Sorry, no answer.");}
        else               //minimum 1.
        {
       ....

I'm little confusing; no syntax-error, but when i execute, my app always show pop-up "Sorry, no answer" although there's a directory listed (home/nnur/compareN). Please help me, thanks...

File dir = new File ("home/nnur/compareN");

A guess - you specify a relative path. Don't you want an absolute path (one that starts with a '/')?

Thank you Tom Reilly!
I've never noticed about the absolute/relative path. But unfortunately, the new problem is coming. Let me try to solve it first by myself.
