Append counter to string to loop through list

[Wrathchild]

how would I loop through these items to run the check that they exist so I can use i after "App"? I'm just looking for the syntax for "App & i".

int i = 0;

File App0 = new File("C:\\test.txt");
File App1 = new File("C:\\test2.txt");

while
if(App & i.exists()){ blah blah blah

i++

Java is a compiled language, so you can't access variable names dinamically at runtime.

There is an approach to do this called reflection, but I don't think it's good for your case.

I'd store the File objects in a File array so you can loop throgh the array and check the existence of each element.

Cheers,

thanks, I was thinking that, but I didn't know if there was a File array or not

I'm not talking about a special class, you can declare an array of any kind of objects or primitive types-

Something like

File[] fileArray = new File[numberOfFiles];
for (i=0;i<fileArray.length;i++)
  if fileArray[i].exists()
     doWhatever();
