Walk a given directory and print files matching a given pattern.
Note: Please be careful when running any code presented here.
Java
Compiler: javac, JDK 1.4 and up
Done using no pattern. But with end string comparison witch gave better results.
import java.io.File; public class MainEntry { public static void main(String[] args) { walkin(new File("/home/user")); //Replace this with a suitable directory } /** * Recursive function to descent into the directory tree and find all the file * that end with ".mp3" * @param dir A file object defining the top directory **/ public static void walkin(File dir) { String pattern = ".mp3"; File listFile[] = dir.listFiles(); if(listFile != null) { for(int i=0; i<listFile.length; i++) { if(listFile[i].isDirectory()) { walkin(listFile[i]); } else { if(listFile[i].getName().endsWith(pattern)) { System.out.println(listFile[i].getPath()); } } } } } }
Python
Interpreter: Python 2.5
import fnmatch import os rootPath = '/' # Change to a suitable path for your OS pattern = '*.mp3' # Any string; Can include any UNIX shell-style wildcards # Includes: *, ?, [seq], [!seq] for root, directories, files in os.walk(rootPath): for aFile in files: if fnmatch.fnmatch(aFile, pattern): print os.path.join(root, aFile)
Ruby
Pattern matching using regular expressions
#define a recursive function that will traverse the directory tree def printAndDescend(pattern) #we keep track of the directories, to be used in the second, recursive part of this function directories=[] Dir['*'].sort.each do |name| if File.file?(name) and name[pattern] puts(File.expand_path(name)) elsif File.directory?(name) directories << name end end directories.each do |name| #don't descend into . or .. on linux Dir.chdir(name){printAndDescend(pattern)} if !Dir.pwd[File.expand_path(name)] end end #print all ruby files printAndDescend(/.+\.rb$/)
