WildcardFileFilter

• java.lang.Object
  • org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.AbstractFileFilter

File dir = new File(".");

File[] files = dir.listFiles(fileFilter);
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
System.out.println(files[i]);

Fields Summary
private final String[]	wildcards The wildcards that will be used to match filenames.
private final IOCase	caseSensitivity Whether the comparison is case sensitive.

Constructors Summary
public WildcardFileFilter(String wildcard) Construct a new case-sensitive wildcard filter for a single wildcard. param wildcard the wildcard to match throws IllegalArgumentException if the pattern is null this(wildcard, null);
public WildcardFileFilter(String wildcard, IOCase caseSensitivity) Construct a new wildcard filter for a single wildcard specifying case-sensitivity. param wildcard the wildcard to match, not null param caseSensitivity how to handle case sensitivity, null means case-sensitive throws IllegalArgumentException if the pattern is null if (wildcard == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("The wildcard must not be null"); } this.wildcards = new String[] { wildcard }; this.caseSensitivity = (caseSensitivity == null ? IOCase.SENSITIVE : caseSensitivity);
public WildcardFileFilter(String[] wildcards) Construct a new case-sensitive wildcard filter for an array of wildcards. The array is not cloned, so could be changed after constructing the instance. This would be inadvisable however. param wildcards the array of wildcards to match throws IllegalArgumentException if the pattern array is null this(wildcards, null);
public WildcardFileFilter(String[] wildcards, IOCase caseSensitivity) Construct a new wildcard filter for an array of wildcards specifying case-sensitivity. The array is not cloned, so could be changed after constructing the instance. This would be inadvisable however. param wildcards the array of wildcards to match, not null param caseSensitivity how to handle case sensitivity, null means case-sensitive throws IllegalArgumentException if the pattern array is null if (wildcards == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("The wildcard array must not be null"); } this.wildcards = wildcards; this.caseSensitivity = (caseSensitivity == null ? IOCase.SENSITIVE : caseSensitivity);
public WildcardFileFilter(List wildcards) Construct a new case-sensitive wildcard filter for a list of wildcards. param wildcards the list of wildcards to match, not null throws IllegalArgumentException if the pattern list is null throws ClassCastException if the list does not contain Strings this(wildcards, null);
public WildcardFileFilter(List wildcards, IOCase caseSensitivity) Construct a new wildcard filter for a list of wildcards specifying case-sensitivity. param wildcards the list of wildcards to match, not null param caseSensitivity how to handle case sensitivity, null means case-sensitive throws IllegalArgumentException if the pattern list is null throws ClassCastException if the list does not contain Strings if (wildcards == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("The wildcard list must not be null"); } this.wildcards = (String[]) wildcards.toArray(new String[wildcards.size()]); this.caseSensitivity = (caseSensitivity == null ? IOCase.SENSITIVE : caseSensitivity);

Methods Summary
public boolean	accept(java.io.File dir, java.lang.String name) Checks to see if the filename matches one of the wildcards. param dir the file directory param name the filename return true if the filename matches one of the wildcards for (int i = 0; i < wildcards.length; i++) { if (FilenameUtils.wildcardMatch(name, wildcards[i], caseSensitivity)) { return true; } } return false;
public boolean	accept(java.io.File file) Checks to see if the filename matches one of the wildcards. param file the file to check return true if the filename matches one of the wildcards String name = file.getName(); for (int i = 0; i < wildcards.length; i++) { if (FilenameUtils.wildcardMatch(name, wildcards[i], caseSensitivity)) { return true; } } return false;
public java.lang.String	toString() Provide a String representaion of this file filter. return a String representaion StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(); buffer.append(super.toString()); buffer.append("("); if (wildcards != null) { for (int i = 0; i < wildcards.length; i++) { if (i > 0) { buffer.append(","); } buffer.append(wildcards[i]); } } buffer.append(")"); return buffer.toString();
