Search File at all locations

[karan chandok]

I am trying a program that can search file in all drives

But issue is it is searching for file only in current directory

Is there any way that I can find the file at all locations?

Thanks in Advance

Please KeepItDown. That doesn't include all uppercase letters but also larger fonts. It's completely unnecessary.

With java.io.File you can first use the static listRoots() methods to list all of the root files. You must then use a recursive method that for those. In pseudo code:

public void search(File file)
{
    if (file.isDirectory())
    {
        File[] files = file.listFiles();
        if (files != null) // always check; unaccessible directories will also return null
        {
            for (File f: files)
            {
                search(f);
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // handle file
    }
}

With java.nio.file.Path it's a bit different, because you can use FileVisitor:

FileSystem fs = FileSystems.getDefault();
for (Path root: fs.getRootDirectories())
{
    Files.walkFile(root, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>()
    {
        // override methods as needed
    });
}
