Question

The question but in C#. So does Java have C#’s command? I need it for Matches-SearchTerm-Files-relationship.

foreach(var i in BunchOfItems.SelectMany(k => k.Items)) {}

[Why not for-loops?]
I have done such structures in nested for loops but they soon become bloated. So I prefer something more succint like the above.

public static Stack<Integer[]> getPrintPoss(String s,File f,Integer maxViewPerF)
{
    Stack<File> possPrint = new Stack<File>();
    Integer[] poss = new Integer[4]();
    int u,size;
    for(File f:files)
    { 
        size = f2S(f).length();
        u = Math.min(maxViewsPerF,size);
        for(int i=0; i<u;i++)
        {
           // Do something --- bloated, and soon out of control
           // wants more succintly

        }
    }
    return possPrint;
}

Answer 1

Have about half a year patience until JDK7 is final which will include Closures. This provides simliar syntax and the same possibilities as LINQ which was demonstrated in the answer you’re talking about.
