Reading from a directory

[thatos]

I know how to read maybe values in files, but is there a way to for example get names of files in a directory and manipulate somehow this files?

Did you read the API documentation for the File class? Your answer can
be found there.

Hi, did you guys sometimes use those powerful java IDE's, they are open sources and they are very helpful with usage of java API's, currently eclipse is the best, for example if you declare something like:

Flile f = new File("path and file name ");

and if you type 'f.' and wait for a second, it will list all the operations that you can do or get from file object. hope this will help a lot that API's than asking API related question, he are hoping to get more program structures(OOP) related like inheritance, polymophism and encapsulation questions, remember PIE ....

The OP didn't even know that s/he should use the File class; what is an IDE to do
then? If beginners followed up your advice this forum would be swamped with
question from people like "how do I so and so with my IDE?" All those IDEs
do is hide those basic mechanics for you but you still have to understand those
basics in order to work properly with an IDE.

The keyword here is "reading". People just don't read anymore before they start
typing and simply hope for the best which basically means they curse Java
because it doesn't work like visual basic does it. Posession of computers at
home should be made a grave felony.

kind regards,

...you are still correct bt nothing aimed for the people to struggle a lot before they get how simple and efficient for the Java code to be implemented. we must still guide peple how to get this things easy and usable without going extra miles, when I start with developing carrier I used to ask my self how could people implement morethan 20 000 line of code per day... and you knows the answer...!

I use VI(M) so we're enemies for life; btw LOCs of code, as the previous replier
mentioned, is a very bad metric; I feel happy after a day of negative LOCs ...
