Java: Browsing the file system

what i want to do is list the files of a directory...

i realize that the java.io package supports openning files and stuff... but i can't seem to find anything for listing files...

i should probably add that i'm making a command line program... not an applet...

i'm really just looking to make a class to handle something.

hey, for anyone keeping track... i figured it out...

importing the java.io package, use the File class...

Code:
path = "C:\whatever";
File dir = new File(path);

String[] list = dir.list();
String output = "";

for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++)  {
	output += list[i]+"\n";
}

System.out.println(output);




Mind you, it doesn't distinguish between folder or file... it will simply list anything within the directory... and not recursively... still a useful peice of code that i never knew before! =)

(hope someone finds its useful)
