File-listFiles()

[Alec Porter]

So I'm trying to get the class files by calling listFiles()

	File f = new File( this.getClass( ).getClassLoader().getResource(baseClass).getPath());
	File[] files = f.getParentFile().listFiles( );

For the parent file I'm getting my class directory which is what I want.

C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\Alec\Desktop\GameServer\classes

but it's returning null. On the java API it says for that method that "If this abstract pathname does not denote a directory, then this method returns null. " Event though I know it has the correct directory I need and there are files in it. So why does this happen?

I believe your problem is in URL-encoded name of the directory you want. Replacing %20 with spaces should solve the problem.

Why is it doing that and how do I fix it?

[Andrey Kozhanov]

This is just my suggestion, so no idea why this is happening. But to check whether i am right is rather easy:

File f = new File( this.getClass( ).getClassLoader().getResource(baseClass).getPath().replaceAll("%20", " "));

Well that fixed it. Thanks, not sure why it does that though.
