At the moment I'm trying to figure out how to do a search through a folder and list all the files by using System.out.

I am currently using a forloop to trace all the files, but it could only trace one folder. My objective is to go through every folders in one particular folder, it thats not confusing.

E.G.

search directory folder: folder1...

file1
file2
file3...
folder2 <---- how do i make it so it includes folder 2?

Is there any easier way than using a forloop?

cheers.

Make a function that loops trough the directory and calls itself recursively when it encounters a folder:

Pseudocode:

Code:


function processFiles(Folder folder) {

  while ((item = nextitem in Folder) != null) {

    if (item is file) {
       // do something with file
    }
    if (item is folder) {
       processFiles(item)
    }

}



Or post the code you have so far so I can be more concrete. But this should help you on your way.
