The newest version!
This package provides various {@link java.util.Comparator} implementations
for {@link java.io.File}s.
Sorting
All the compartors include convenience utility sort(File...) and
sort(List) methods.
For example, to sort the files in a directory by name:
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
NameFileComparator.NAME_COMPARATOR.sort(files);
...alternatively you can do this in one line:
File[] files = NameFileComparator.NAME_COMPARATOR.sort(dir.listFiles());
Composite Comparator
The CompositeFileComparator can be used
to compare (and sort lists or arrays of files) by combining a number other comparators.
For example, to sort an array of files by type (i.e. directory or file)
and then by name:
CompositeFileComparator comparator =
new CompositeFileComparator(
DirectoryFileComparator.DIRECTORY_COMPARATOR,
NameFileComparator.NAME_COMPARATOR);
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
comparator.sort(files);
Singleton Instances (thread-safe)
The {@link java.util.Comparator} implementations have some convenience
singleton(thread-safe) instances ready to use:
- DefaultFileComparator - default file compare:
- DEFAULT_COMPARATOR
- Compare using
File.compareTo(File) method.
- DEFAULT_REVERSE
- Reverse compare of
File.compareTo(File) method.
- DirectoryFileComparator - compare by type (directory or file):
- DIRECTORY_COMPARATOR
- Compare using
File.isDirectory() method (directories < files).
- DIRECTORY_REVERSE
- Reverse compare of
File.isDirectory() method (directories > files).
- ExtensionFileComparator - compare file extenstions:
- EXTENSION_COMPARATOR
- Compare using
FilenameUtils.getExtension(String) method.
- EXTENSION_REVERSE
- Reverse compare of
FilenameUtils.getExtension(String) method.
- EXTENSION_INSENSITIVE_COMPARATOR
- Case-insensitive compare using
FilenameUtils.getExtension(String) method.
- EXTENSION_INSENSITIVE_REVERSE
- Reverse case-insensitive compare of
FilenameUtils.getExtension(String) method.
- EXTENSION_SYSTEM_COMPARATOR
- System sensitive compare using
FilenameUtils.getExtension(String) method.
- EXTENSION_SYSTEM_REVERSE
- Reverse system sensitive compare of
FilenameUtils.getExtension(String) method.
- LastModifiedFileComparator
- compare the file's last modified date/time:
- LASTMODIFIED_COMPARATOR
- Compare using
File.lastModified() method.
- LASTMODIFIED_REVERSE
- Reverse compare of
File.lastModified() method.
- NameFileComparator - compare file names:
- NAME_COMPARATOR
- Compare using
File.getName() method.
- NAME_REVERSE
- Reverse compare of
File.getName() method.
- NAME_INSENSITIVE_COMPARATOR
- Case-insensitive compare using
File.getName() method.
- NAME_INSENSITIVE_REVERSE
- Reverse case-insensitive compare of
File.getName() method.
- NAME_SYSTEM_COMPARATOR
- System sensitive compare using
File.getName() method.
- NAME_SYSTEM_REVERSE
- Reverse system sensitive compare of
File.getName() method.
- PathFileComparator - compare file paths:
- PATH_COMPARATOR
- Compare using
File.getPath() method.
- PATH_REVERSE
- Reverse compare of
File.getPath() method.
- PATH_INSENSITIVE_COMPARATOR
- Case-insensitive compare using
File.getPath() method.
- PATH_INSENSITIVE_REVERSE
- Reverse case-insensitive compare of
File.getPath() method.
- PATH_SYSTEM_COMPARATOR
- System sensitive compare using
File.getPath() method.
- PATH_SYSTEM_REVERSE
- Reverse system sensitive compare of
File.getPath() method.
- SizeFileComparator - compare the file's size:
- SIZE_COMPARATOR
- Compare using
File.length() method (directories treated as zero length).
- LASTMODIFIED_REVERSE
- Reverse compare of
File.length() method (directories treated as zero length).
- SIZE_SUMDIR_COMPARATOR
- Compare using
FileUtils.sizeOfDirectory(File) method
(sums the size of a directory's contents).
- SIZE_SUMDIR_REVERSE
- Reverse compare of
FileUtils.sizeOfDirectory(File) method
(sums the size of a directory's contents).
