find file by mask

[slukacs]

hello one and all,

still new to java, day 12 now, but liking a bit more each day. how
would i do this in java.

say i want to see of the files of type "*.zip" in or under the directory
"/home/lucas". or, i want to see the file names of those with the
extension "zip" along with either their respective full or relative
paths to each of those files under that directory "/home/lucas".

what is the best method to do this in java? please provide a code
snippet as an example. thank you in advance and have a great easter
weekend.

Re: find file by mask

One way to do this is to use a java.io.Filenam eFilter. The java.io
package offers many ways to interact with the file system. Real
Gagnon has posted an example use of a FilenameFilter:

Real has a lot of great coding examples on his site:
