Class CanReadFileFilter

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.AbstractFileFilter
org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.CanReadFileFilter
All Implemented Interfaces:
FileFilter, FilenameFilter, Serializable, IOFileFilter

public class CanReadFileFilter extends AbstractFileFilter implements Serializable
This filter accepts Files that can be read.

Example, showing how to print out a list of the current directory's readable files:

 File dir = new File(".");
 String[] files = dir.list( CanReadFileFilter.CAN_READ );
 for ( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
     System.out.println(files[i]);
 }
 

Example, showing how to print out a list of the current directory's un-readable files:

 File dir = new File(".");
 String[] files = dir.list( CanReadFileFilter.CANNOT_READ );
 for ( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
     System.out.println(files[i]);
 }
 

Example, showing how to print out a list of the current directory's read-only files:

 File dir = new File(".");
 String[] files = dir.list( CanReadFileFilter.READ_ONLY );
 for ( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
     System.out.println(files[i]);
 }
