Filters files based on the suffix (what the filename ends with). This is used in retrieving all the files of a particular type.

For example, to retrieve and print all *.java files in the current directory:

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

Constructs a new Suffix file filter for a single extension.

Throws:
