Aby, you really should start to read the documentation before posting simple questions.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/File.html

If you had read this, then you would see that the below method lists the files in a directory and returns the results in an array :

File[] files = new File("mydir").listFiles();
