List Method

[ravioli]

Hi All,

I am using the following line of code:

String[] children = directory.list();

It seems fine when I used it other places but I am getting an error on compile:

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11\bin>javac timeoutput.java
timeoutput.java:4: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class io
location: package java
import java.io;
^
It seems to want me to import java.io . I have already done this however. The full code follows:

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.lang.String;

public class timeoutput {

public static void main (String[] args) {

String directory = "C:\\j2sdk1.4.2_11\\working";
long modifiedTime;
long t_difference;
long t_60_days_ago = System.currentTimeMillis()-5184000000L;

String[] children = directory.list();
//the rest of the code has been omited
}
}

Thanks for any help,
Bradley

the list() method belongs to the file class. You've defined directory as a string.

Bong,

This worked fine to compile thanks.
The program is now doing what it should.
