New to Java

Hi,

everyone. I am new to Java and I have a big assignment due by next week. I have found one method of filtering file names. When I tried compiling the code, I got error message.

the code is:

--

from: http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll/jatutor8.htm

public class OnlyExt implements FileNameFilter

{

String ext;

public OnlyExt(String ext)

{ this.ext = "." + ext; }

public boolean accept(File dir, String name)

{ return name.endsWith(ext); }

}

class DirListOnly

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

String dirname="./website";

File f1 = new File(dirname);

FileNameFilter only = new OnlyExt("xml");

String s[] = f1.list(only);

for (int i=0; i<s.length; i++)

{ System.out.println(s); }

}

}

--

The error message is:

C:\OnlyExt.java:3: cannot resolve symbol

symbol : class FileNameFilter

location: class OnlyExt

public class OnlyExt implements FileNameFilter

^

C:\OnlyExt.java:17: cannot resolve symbol

symbol : class FileNameFilter

location: class DirListOnly

FileNameFilter only = new OnlyExt("xml");

^

2 errors

Tool completed with exit code 1

If anybody can help me what I am doing wrong?

I changed the file name to be filtered from html --> xml. that's the only change i made.

thanks a lot
