I have an array of filenames and need to sort that array by the extensions of the filename. Is there an easy way to do this?
String DELIMETER = File.separator + ".";
List orginalList = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(listOfFileNames));
Set setOfuniqueExtension = new TreeSet<>();
for (String item : listOfFileNames) {
if (item.contains(".")) {
String[] split = item.split(DELIMETER);
String temp = "." + split[split.length - 1];
setOfuniqueExtension.add(temp);
}
}
List finalListOfAllFiles = new LinkedList<>();
setOfuniqueExtension.stream().forEach((s1) -> {
for (int i = 0; i < orginalList.size(); i++) {
if (orginalList.get(i).contains(s1)) {
finalListOfAllFiles.add(orginalList.get(i));
orginalList.remove(orginalList.get(i));
i--;
}
}
});
orginalList.stream().filter((s1) -> (!finalListOfAllFiles.contains(s1))).forEach((s1) -> {
finalListOfAllFiles.add(s1);
});
return finalListOfAllFiles;
