Method Details

listFiles

public static Collection<File> listFiles(String dir,
 @Language("RegExp")
 String regex,
 boolean recurse)

List all the files in a directory that match a regular expression

Parameters:

recurse - recurse to subdirectories?

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if dir is null

copy

public static void copy(String srcFileName,
 String destFileName)
                 throws IOException

This may be a resource leak.

We may have to reconsider using nio for this, or apply one of the horrible workarounds listed in the bug report above.

Throws:

IOException

deleteContents

public static void deleteContents(String directory)
                           throws IOException

delete all files (recursively) in a directory. This is dangerous. Use with care.

Throws:

IOException - if there's a problem deleting some file

createFile

public static FileOutputStream createFile(String fileName)
                                   throws IOException

Create a FileOutputStream corresponding to a particular file name. Delete the existing file if one exists.

Throws:

IOException

readBytes

public static byte[] readBytes(InputStream s)
                        throws IOException

read fully the contents of s and return a byte array holding the result

Throws:

IOException

writeFile

public static void writeFile(File f,
 String content)
                      throws IOException

write string s into file f

Throws:

IOException

recurseFiles

public static void recurseFiles(Consumer<File> action,
 Predicate<File> filter,
 File top)
