my code is given below . public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO code application logic here File pcounter_log = new File("c:\development\temp\test.log"); try { TailerListener listener = new PCTailListener(); Tailer tailer = new Tailer(pcounter_log, listener, 5000,true); Thread thread = new Thread(tailer); thread.start(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); } } public class PCTailListener extends TailerListenerAdapter { public void handle(String line) { System.out.println(line); } } .ie, i am monitoring the log file.whenever log messages updated in log file(c:\development

How to make FileAlterationObserver to observe a remote directory? This can accept a String path or a Java File . Both the cases it will look for the directory in local context. I have a directory in remote server file system. It would be also helpful if anyone tell me how to create a new File object referring to the file in the remote directory. Example: File file = new File("remote directory path"); You cannot. The File object cannot refer to an SFTP file. There's no way to have the SFTP server notify you on changes in a remote file/directory (the protocol itself does not have a mechanism for

Commons-IO has an IOUtils.toString(inputStream) method, which can read all content from an input stream: InputStream input = getInputStream(); String content = IOUtils.toString(input); My question is shall I close the input stream manually after using it? I thought IOUtils may close it since it has read all the content, but I can't find that in the source code. JB Nizet The javadoc says: Wherever possible, the methods in this class do not flush or close the stream. This is to avoid making non-portable assumptions about the streams' origin and further use. Thus the caller is still responsible

I want to collect a list of all files under a directory, in particular including subdirectories. I like not doing things myself, so I'm using FileUtils.listFiles from Apache Commons IO. So I have something like: import java.io.File; import java.util.Collection; import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils; import org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.TrueFileFilter; public class TestListFiles { public static void main(String[] args) { Collection<File> found = FileUtils.listFiles(new File("foo"), TrueFileFilter.INSTANCE, TrueFileFilter.INSTANCE); for (File f : found) { System.out.println("Found file: " +

I want to delete all files inside ABC directory. When I tried with FileUtils.deleteDirectory(new File("C:/test/ABC/")); it also deletes folder ABC. Is there a one liner solution where I can delete files inside directory but not directory? FileUtils.cleanDirectory(directory); There is this method available in the same file. This will also recursively deletes all sub-folders and files under them. Docs: org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.cleanDirectory Do you mean like? for(File file: dir.listFiles()) if (!file.isDirectory()) file.delete(); This will only delete files, not directories.
