FilenameFilter

FilenameFilter

java.io

---

Java 1.0

This interface defines the accept( ) method that must be implemented by any object that filters filenames (i.e., selects a subset of filenames from a list of filenames). There are no standard FilenameFilter classes implemented by Java, but objects that implement this interface are used by the java.awt.FileDialog object and the File.list( ) method. A typical FilenameFilter object might check that the specified File represents a file (not a directory), is readable (and possibly writable as well), and that its name ends with some desired extension.

 public interface  FilenameFilter  {  // Public Instance Methods  boolean  accept  (File  dir  , String  name  );   }
