Question

How will I be able to tell if an element in the string array contains a file or a sub directory?

Each file seams to output the file name and file extension but directories seam to just have a plane name?

public static File f = new File("C:\\Users\\Matthew\\Desktop\\X\\");

String[] contents = f.list();
for(String con : contents) {
System.out.println(con);    
}

//Output to console

a.txt

b.txt

Y

Answer 1

use isFile() and isDirctory() methods. Both has boolean as return type. So you can easily determine as per their return values.
