Program Idea Can it be done?

[flamewaver]

Long time lurker first time poster,

I want to write a java program ( as Im studying it ) that basically searches through a directory for certain files that can be selected such as .avi .mp3

it then copys them across to a new directory

How do I implement the seach function itself?

searches through a directory for certain files

Yes, you can use the File class for that. It has methods that will get a list of files and directories contained in a directory.
