Constructor Detail

### FilenameFinder

    public FilenameFinder()

Method Detail

### getFilenameList

    public static ArrayList getFilenameList(ClassLoader classLoader,
                                            String directoryPath,
                                            String fileExtension)

  Locate files and return list of file names. Given a known relative directory path, it will locate it and build list of all names of files in that directory having the given file extension. If the "known file path" doesn't work because MARS is running from an executable JAR file, it will locate the directory in the JAR file and proceed from there. NOTE: since this uses the class loader to get the resource, the directory path needs to be relative to classpath, not absolute. To work with an arbitrary file system, use the other version of this overloaded method. Will NOT match directories that happen to have the desired extension.

  Parameters:
    `classLoader` - class loader to use
    `directoryPath` - Search will be confined to this directory. Use "/" as separator but do NOT include starting or ending "/" (e.g. mars/tools)
    `fileExtension` - Only files with this extension will be added to the list. Do NOT include the "." in extension.
  Returns:
    array list of matching file names as Strings. If none, list is empty.

### getFilenameList

    public static ArrayList getFilenameList(ClassLoader classLoader,
                                            String directoryPath,
                                            ArrayList fileExtensions)

  Locate files and return list of file names. Given a known relative directory path, it will locate it and build list of all names of files in that directory having the given file extension. If the "known file path" doesn't work because MARS is running from an executable JAR file, it will locate the directory in the JAR file and proceed from there. NOTE: since this uses the class loader to get the resource, the directory path needs to be relative to classpath, not absolute.

  Parameters:
    `classLoader` - class loader to use
    `directoryPath` - Search will be confined to this directory. Use "/" as separator but do NOT include starting or ending "/" (e.g. mars/tools)
    `fileExtensions` - ArrayList of Strings containing file extensions. Only files with an extension in this list will be added to the list. Do NOT include the ".", eg "class" not ".class". If Arraylist or extension null or empty, all files are added.
  Returns:
    array list of matching file names as Strings. If none, list is empty.

  Locate files and return list of file names. Given a known directory path, it will locate it and build list of all names of files in that directory having the given file extension. If file extenion is null or empty, all filenames are returned. Returned list contains absolute filename paths.

  Parameters:
    `directoryPath` - Search will be confined to this directory.
    `fileExtension` - Only files with this extension will be added to the list. Do NOT include "." in extension. If null or empty string, all files are added.
