Class ChainedFileSelector

java.lang.Object

fc.io.fileselectors.ChainedFileSelector

All Implemented Interfaces:

FileFilter

Direct Known Subclasses:

DirectorySelector, FilePrefixRejectSelector, FilePrefixSelector, MaxSizeSelector, MinSizeSelector, NormalFileSelector, SuffixRejectSelector, SuffixSelector

public abstract class ChainedFileSelector
extends Object
implements FileFilter

Allows for chaining FileFilters, used in java.io.File directory listing methods. Chained filters allow all filters in the chain to take turns accepting/rejecting a particular file name. The file name is only accepted if all filters in the chain accept that file. Example usage:

java.io.File startdir = new java.io.File("\some\path\here");
String filepattern = "gif,jpg";
ChainedFileFilter filter = new SuffixFilter(filepattern, new NormalFileFilter()); 
File[] files = startdir.listFiles(filter);

The above will only list files (not directories) ending with gif or jpg.
