Sample code to access a file on Unix from a Java program on windows

What do you mean by 'locate'?

This should work:


        File file = new File("test");
        String[] list = file.list(new FilenameFilter() {

            public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                return name.toLowerCase().endsWith(".txt");
            }
        });

Thanks Ajay... let me try this out.

Shortly ... you cannot do that.

If no bridge between Windows and Unix File System is installed, you have no way of doing that, because Windows FS is not compatible with Unix FS. You would need some bridging functionality installed on either the Unix machine (Samba for example) or on Windows (for example some SFTP implementation).

AmolDesai, this sample java code should work for you....

public static void main (String args[])  {

        String s1 = "/usr/bin/find /export -type d -name testDir\r\n";
        String result = findResult(s1);

        if(result != null && result.length() != 0)
        {
                System.out.println(result);
                String s2 = "/usr/bin/find " + result + "/ -type f -name fileName.txt\r\n";
                result = findResult(s2);

                if(result != null && result.length() != 0)
                        System.out.println(result);
            }
        }

        public static String findResult(String str)
        {
          String line = null;
          try{
                Runtime runTime = Runtime.getRuntime();
                Process process = runTime.exec(str);

                InputStream inputStream = process.getInputStream();
                InputStreamReader  inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader (inputStream);
                BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);

               while ( (line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null ){
                    if( !line.endsWith("Permission denied") )
                            break;
                }

             }catch (Throwable t) {
                   t.printStackTrace();
             }

            return line;
      }

Owenli,

Can you plz explain me this command: "/usr/bin/find /export -type d -name testDir?

thanks for your help.

> Shortly ... you cannot do that.
You can - instead of running find command (or any other os dependent command), you can use list() function on the file. But you can write a recursive function to walk through the directory tree.

Thanks Owenli and Ajay.
