Java - Read many txt files on a folder and process them

java

Solution

Assuming you have all the files in one place:

File dir = new File("path/to/files/");

for (File file : dir.listFiles()) {
    Scanner s = new Scanner(file);
    ...
    s.close();
}

Note that if you have any files that you don't want to include, you can give `listFiles()` a `FileFilter` argument to filter them out.

Problem

I followed this question: Now in my case i have 720 files named in this way: "dom 24 mar 2013_00.50.35_128.txt", every file has a different date and time. In testing phase i used Scanner, with a specific txt file, to do some operations on it: Scanner s = new Scanner(new File("stuff.txt")); My question is: How can i reuse scanner and read all 720 files without having to set the precise name on scanner? Thanks
