getting files from a directory and byte read

[akiba201]

hi there,
i am developing a file integrity checker, i wanna first list files from a given directory and then byte-read each and finally calculate a CRC for ech file. does any one know how to get files from a directory and then byte-red it?

iam using JAVA to write this code.

any help will be much appreciated.

To list the files, you need to create a java.io.File object pointing at your directory, then use the listFiles method to get an array of File objects representing the files within it.

Then you can use a java.io.FileInputStream to access the byte data within the files. You can easily create a FileInputStream using a File object from the array above in the constructor.

More efficient file access can be achieved by wrapping the FileInputStream in a BufferedInputStream.

BTW, in future can you post pure Java questions like this one in the Java forum269. This forum is for J2EE questions.
