Enumeration or Iterator?

[aswolff]

Hi..I need to write a java program that will "iterate" over a set of files (*.xml) in a given directory. For each file I need to open it up and readin the xml contents...do some processing on it and close then rename or delete the file.

I am wondering if I should use an Enumeration or Iterator or is that overkill and there is a much simpler way?

Thank You.

I myself will not spend so much on considering this. You may read all the filenames into String array. Then you can use sax or dom technique to read all the values from xml.
As the string array has stored the filename, you can rename the
processed xml with that string array.
How is your experience in processing xml with Java? If you are new to processing xml with Java, programming with sax or dom will take you some time.

Actually File class will return a File array with the method listFiles.
