Hello,

My goal is to create a app that will take the folder passed to it and spit out a txt file with a list of all the files and folders with last modify date.
Example,
C:\<TAB>12/1/2007 1:00 PM
C:\config.sys<TAB>12/1/2007 1:00 PM
C:\Windows\<TAB>12/1/2007 1:00 PM
C:\windows\test.txt<TAB>12/1/2007 1:00 PM
C:\windows\Program Files\<TAB>12/1/2007 1:00 PM
C:\windows\Program Files\test.txt<TAB>12/1/2007 1:00 PM

I have played with several options from parsing a dos output, and java.io.File list /w for loop and if isDirectory. The dos output may work if I get the time and patience to tweak it and the java.io.File is a better possibility.

I would like to use java.io.File to do this the issue that I am running is it only takes the current directory and not next one. I could rap it in a method and call on every directory would this pause untill the new folder is complete? Does that make since, LoL?

Code:

	public FolderList(String str)
	{
		File b = new File(str);
		
		String [] ch = b.list();

		path = str;
		for (int i = 0; i < ch.length; i++){
			File c = new File(path + ch[i]);
			if (c.isDirectory()){
				System.out.println(path + ch[i] + "\\");
				
			}
			else
				System.out.println(path + ch[i]);
		}
	}

Please tell me there is a easier way....
In VB6 I did something similar and used a FileBox thingy and displayed path and filename in txt box then sent to list box (list box has a max # of items, ugh!!! Java is better anyway .)

Now that I have effectivly wasted space, can you please help a little... you don't have to do the code, I would just like guidance and maybe simplistic example.

YOU ROCK...Thanks is advance, i'll shut up now.... this is so much fun, I'm going to learn more and more... thanks.
