CommandLine

CommandLine parses the command line for a description of a

set of files and converts it into a list of individual files

to process.

CommandLine does nothing by itself. It is library code you

can incorporate into your own Java programs like this:

CommandLine wantedFiles = new CommandLine( args,

new AllDirectoriesFilter() /* which directories to include */,

new ExtensionListFilter( "java" ) /* which file extensions to include */);

// iterate through all the files in the collection.

for ( File file : wantedFiles )

{

System.err.println( file.getCanonicalPath() );

}// end for

On the command line, you can specify a list of individual

files, mixed with a list of directories.

If you use the -s switch in includes all the files in all

the recursive subdirectories.

Why that apple tree icon? It represents a tree of various

types of files, from which you pick some.
