Hello,

can anybody give me an example of how to use
Code:

Filemanager.getFilesOfDirectoryByPattern(directory, pattern, extension)

I can't get it working and I found nothing in the docs.

...a quite special method...:
Code:

     public static List<String> getFilesOfDirectoryByPattern(String directoryName, 
                                                             String pattern,
                                                             String extension)
     {
         List<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
         List<File> files = getFilesOfDirectory(directoryName);
         for (File file: files)
         {
             String fileAbsoluteName = file.getAbsolutePath();
             String fileSimpleName = file.getName();
             if (extension != null && fileSimpleName.endsWith(extension) == false) 
                 continue;
             if (fileSimpleName.startsWith(pattern + "."))
                 result.add(fileAbsoluteName);
         }
         return result;
     }

...we internally use it for the followin situations:

a user can define config files in the way:

system.xml
system.abc.xml
system.cde.xml

So that not all information is shared within ONE and the same file. Please compare to web.xml: here everyone has to merge into one file... it would be nice to have

web.xml
web.captaincasa.xml
web.vps.xml

and all things are merged internally. OF COURSE THIS DOES NOT WORK... this is just an example.

The method "read by pattern" is one that returns the corresponding files.

Regards, Björn

Ok, let's use the normal one
Code:

FileManager.getFilesOfDirectory(directory)

Still I have a problem with it, it does not find any files.
I call
Code:

FileManager.getFilesOfDirectory("/forms")

with the directory structure as shown in the sceenshot.

What is the correct root directory?
