AgeFileFilter

public class AgeFileFilter extends AbstractFileFilter implements Serializable
Filters files based on a cutoff time, can filter either newer files or files equal to or older.

For example, to print all files and directories in the current directory older than one day:

File dir = new File(".");
// We are interested in files older than one day
long cutoff = System.currentTimeMillis() - (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
String[] files = dir.list( new AgeFileFilter(cutoff) );
for ( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
System.out.println(files[i]);
}

Fields Summary
private final long
cutoff
The cutoff time threshold.
private final boolean
acceptOlder
Whether the files accepted will be older or newer.
Constructors Summary
public AgeFileFilter(long cutoff)
Constructs a new age file filter for files equal to or older than a certain cutoff

param
cutoff the threshold age of the files

        this(cutoff, true);
    
public AgeFileFilter(long cutoff, boolean acceptOlder)
Constructs a new age file filter for files on any one side of a certain cutoff.

param
cutoff the threshold age of the files
param
acceptOlder if true, older files (at or before the cutoff) are accepted, else newer ones (after the cutoff).

        this.acceptOlder = acceptOlder;
        this.cutoff = cutoff;
    
public AgeFileFilter(Date cutoffDate)
Constructs a new age file filter for files older than (at or before) a certain cutoff date.

param
cutoffDate the threshold age of the files

        this(cutoffDate, true);
    
public AgeFileFilter(Date cutoffDate, boolean acceptOlder)
Constructs a new age file filter for files on any one side of a certain cutoff date.

param
cutoffDate the threshold age of the files
param
acceptOlder if true, older files (at or before the cutoff) are accepted, else newer ones (after the cutoff).

        this(cutoffDate.getTime(), acceptOlder);
    
public AgeFileFilter(File cutoffReference)
Constructs a new age file filter for files older than (at or before) a certain File (whose last modification time will be used as reference).

param
cutoffReference the file whose last modification time is usesd as the threshold age of the files

        this(cutoffReference, true);
    
public AgeFileFilter(File cutoffReference, boolean acceptOlder)
Constructs a new age file filter for files on any one side of a certain File (whose last modification time will be used as reference).

param
cutoffReference the file whose last modification time is usesd as the threshold age of the files
param
acceptOlder if true, older files (at or before the cutoff) are accepted, else newer ones (after the cutoff).

        this(cutoffReference.lastModified(), acceptOlder);
    
Methods Summary
public booleanaccept(java.io.File file)
Checks to see if the last modification of the file matches cutoff favorably.

If last modification time equals cutoff and newer files are required, file IS NOT selected. If last modification time equals cutoff and older files are required, file IS selected.

param
file the File to check
return
true if the filename matches

        boolean newer = FileUtils.isFileNewer(file, cutoff);
        return acceptOlder ? !newer : newer;
    
public java.lang.StringtoString()
Provide a String representaion of this file filter.

return
a String representaion

        String condition = acceptOlder ? "<=" : ">";
        return super.toString() + "(" + condition + cutoff + ")";
