Answer 1

You can use FileFilter Like this.

public class MyFileNameFilter implements FilenameFilter {

@Override
public boolean accept(File arg0, String arg1) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    boolean result =false;
    if(arg1.startsWith("KB24"))
        result = true;
    return result;
}

}

And call it like this

File f = new File("C:\\WINDOWS");
    String []  files  = null;
    if(f.isDirectory()) {  

        files = f.list(new MyFileNameFilter());
    }

    for(String s: files) {

        System.out.print(s);
        System.out.print("\t");
    }
