I want to be able to read all files in a folder but only 10 at a time.I have the code to read all files in a folder.But now I want to change it to read all files but only 10 at a time.It will read 10 files, then next 10 files ,then next 10 files and in the end the remaing files (10 or less). How to do this.

thanks

How does your current code read all the files?

Currently I am reading as:


File folder = new File(inputDirectory);
File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();
for (File file : listOfFiles) {
{
doSomething();

}

Well you can keep a counter and increment everytime doSomething() is called. Pause when it reaches 10.
Then remove the 10 read files from the array and recursively call the method again.

Another option is to list the files using a filter.
