File class theoretical question

**Darqneez** · June 23rd, 2011, 04:10 PM

I've been learning java for few days, and I've created a simple code using File class, which returns array of files in specified directory. So I have a question: is there any easy way to return array of ALL files in whole directory, here's an example:
in path c:/ProgramFiles/ there are:
1) dir1 (which has)
..1) dir1.1
..2) dir2.2
....1)dir2.2.1
2) dir2
3) dir3
and so on.
So is there any solution how to return all the files/directories (including subfiles and subdirectories)? I would appreciate any hints

Recursively traverse through the directory...in pseudocode:

1. for each file:
    if directory:
        list files -> go to 1.
    else:
         add to list
