Filters filenames for a certain name.

For example, to print all files and directories in the current directory whose name is Test:

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

Constructs a new case-sensitive name file filter for a single name.
Params:

Construct a new name file filter specifying case-sensitivity.
Params:

  • caseSensitivity – how to handle case sensitivity, null means case-sensitive

Constructs a new case-sensitive name file filter for an array of names.

The array is not cloned, so could be changed after constructing the instance. This would be inadvisable however.

Params:
