Hi All,

I am trying to write a java program for a particular file search in a local directory. Could anyone please help me out with this?

Thanks in advance.

A directory is referred as file in Java.There are several classes in java.io.File for searching and manipulating directories.
Have a look on the below program. Hope this will help you.

public static void main(String[] args) {

String files =null;
File filesDir = new File("C:/Files");
String strfilename = "Abc";
if(filesDir.isDirectory()){
String filenames[] = filesDir.list();
for(int i=0; i<filenames.length; i++)
{
if(filenames[i].startsWith(strfilename)){
files = filenames[i];
System.out.println(" Files in dir are---" + files);
}
}

}
}

This program will give you all the file names starting with Abc. You can modify it as per your needs.

Thanks for your prompt reply. It helped me a lot.
