Class PrefixFileFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.FileFilter, java.io.FilenameFilter, java.io.Serializable, java.nio.file.FileVisitor<java.nio.file.Path>, PathFilter, PathVisitor, IOFileFilter

public class PrefixFileFilter
extends AbstractFileFilter
implements java.io.Serializable

Filters file names for a certain prefix.

For example, to print all files and directories in the current directory whose name starts with Test:

Using Classic IO

 File dir = FileUtils.current();
 String[] files = dir.list(new PrefixFileFilter("Test"));
 for (String file : files) {
     System.out.println(file);
 }
 

Using NIO

 final Path dir = PathUtils.current();
 final AccumulatorPathVisitor visitor = AccumulatorPathVisitor.withLongCounters(new PrefixFileFilter("Test"));
 //
 // Walk one dir
 Files.walkFileTree(dir, Collections.emptySet(), 1, visitor);
 System.out.println(visitor.getPathCounters());
 System.out.println(visitor.getFileList());
 //
 visitor.getPathCounters().reset();
 //
 // Walk dir tree
 Files.walkFileTree(dir, visitor);
 System.out.println(visitor.getPathCounters());
 System.out.println(visitor.getDirList());
 System.out.println(visitor.getFileList());
 

Deprecating Serialization

Serialization is deprecated and will be removed in 3.0.

Since:

1.0

Constructor Detail

PrefixFileFilter

public PrefixFileFilter(java.util.List<java.lang.String> prefixes)

Constructs a new Prefix file filter for a list of prefixes.

Parameters:

prefixes - the prefixes to allow, must not be null

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the prefix list is null

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the list does not contain Strings

PrefixFileFilter

public PrefixFileFilter(java.util.List<java.lang.String> prefixes,
                        IOCase ioCase)

Constructs a new Prefix file filter for a list of prefixes specifying case-sensitivity.

Parameters:

prefixes - the prefixes to allow, must not be null

ioCase - how to handle case sensitivity, null means case-sensitive

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the prefix list is null

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the list does not contain Strings

Since:

1.4

PrefixFileFilter

public PrefixFileFilter(java.lang.String prefix)

Constructs a new Prefix file filter for a single prefix.

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix to allow, must not be null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the prefix is null

PrefixFileFilter

public PrefixFileFilter(java.lang.String... prefixes)

Constructs a new Prefix file filter for any of an array of prefixes.

The array is not cloned, so could be changed after constructing the instance. This would be inadvisable however.

Parameters:

prefixes - the prefixes to allow, must not be null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the prefix array is null

PrefixFileFilter

public PrefixFileFilter(java.lang.String prefix,
                        IOCase ioCase)

Constructs a new Prefix file filter for a single prefix specifying case-sensitivity.

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix to allow, must not be null

ioCase - how to handle case sensitivity, null means case-sensitive

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the prefix is null

Since:

1.4

PrefixFileFilter

public PrefixFileFilter(java.lang.String[] prefixes,
                        IOCase ioCase)

Constructs a new Prefix file filter for any of an array of prefixes specifying case-sensitivity.

Parameters:

prefixes - the prefixes to allow, must not be null

ioCase - how to handle case sensitivity, null means case-sensitive

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the prefix is null

Since:

1.4
