how to use the listFiles() command

[jeremytaffy]

I want to be able to display the files in a certain directory in a JTextArea. I've tried using the
File <directory name> new File(&quot;/directory name&quot;
and then I used:

<directory name>.listFiles();

This all compiles correctly yet I don't know how to put the information in a Text area. I'd like to have all the files in the directory obtain a certain value in an array if possible.
Thanks.

hi,

for implementing listFiles() just create an object of file(passing file path to the constructor ) and then call the listFiles() method on file object.This method returns the array if File

code snippet :

File file=new File(path);
File f[]=file.listFiles();
