Determine # of files inside a directory

Dear CornedBee.
Thanks for ur help. but is there a way for the system to determine the path on its own without specifying the path, eg.
c:\\java\project ?????

Tq,
Neptune.

Huh?

Which path do you want?

let me explain more detail. that day u give me a solution to determine # files in a directory.
here it is:
java.io.File dir = new java.io.File("c:\\java\project");
int count = dir.list().length;

"c:\\java\project" is the pathname right?

so, is there anyway for the system to know the path without us typing this-->"c:\\java\project" by the time the above 2 codes is being executed?

hope u can read me.

Sincerely;
Nepunel.

Which path name? I think there is a File.getCwd or something to get the current directory, which may or may not be what you want.

However, in this sentence
"for the system to know the path "
"the path" refers to nothing. Sorry, semantic error, I can't compile your sentence to brain code ;)

Haha. i m so sorry.

i think the File.getCwd is wat i want. i just want to know the current directory in a drive.

Let say computer A and B.
inside A, user compile and run its java file inside c:\\java\project

meanwhile inside B. another user run its java file inside d:\\assignment

so, this 2 directory is totally different right? therefore, it'll be meaningless to specify the pathname like c:\\java\project inside my pc(let say C) as it gives no meaning for computer B?

hope u understand as i also :confused:

Neptune.

if possible, can i hav ur contact like icq#?
