Question

Sorry about readability. Stack appears to be trimming spaces from code lines & indents don’t show up. Hrmph.

This was printing to the console without any problems…

CGT\whgdata\whnvp33.txt   << EXPECTED OUTPUT (excerpt)
CGT\whgdata\whnvt30.txt
CGT\whgdata\whnvt31.txt
CGT\whgdata\whnvt32.txt
CGT\whgdata\whnvt33.txt
CGT\whgdef.txt
CGT\whgdhtml.txt
CGT\whibody.txt
etc....

…until I tried printing the hashtable to a file. Since that point, getFileListing isn’t recognized as a valid symbol.

FileListing2.java:17: error: cannot find symbol
        List<File> files = FileListing2.getFileListing(startingDirectory);
  symbol:   method getFileListing(File)
  location: class FileListing2
1 error

Can someone lend a second set of eyes to help me uncover what I accidentally/overwrote. I’m sure it’s something obvious. :\

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.*;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.StandardOpenOption.*;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
//
public final class FileListing2 {
    public static void main(String... aArgs) {
//
    File startingDirectory= new File("CGT");
    File outputFile = new File("CGTOutput.txt");
    List<File> files = FileListing2.getFileListing(startingDirectory);
    OutputStream output = null;
    //
    for(File file : files )        {
       System.out.println(file);  //print filenames
    }
}
}

If your code is all you have for FileListing2, than there is no getFileListing() method for LileListing2, only a main() method
