Package org.apache.commons.io.filefilter
Class HiddenFileFilter
java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.AbstractFileFilter
org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.HiddenFileFilter
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- FileFilter,- FilenameFilter,- Serializable,- FileVisitor<Path>,- PathMatcher,- PathFilter,- PathVisitor,- IOFileFilter
This filter accepts 
Files that are hidden.
 Example, showing how to print out a list of the current directory's hidden files:
Using Classic IO
 File dir = FileUtils.current();
 String[] files = dir.list(HiddenFileFilter.HIDDEN);
 for (String file : files) {
     System.out.println(file);
 }
 
 Example, showing how to print out a list of the current directory's visible (not hidden) files:
 File dir = FileUtils.current();
 String[] files = dir.list(HiddenFileFilter.VISIBLE);
 for (String file : files) {
     System.out.println(file);
 }
 
 Using NIO
final Path dir = PathUtils.current(); final AccumulatorPathVisitor visitor = AccumulatorPathVisitor.withLongCounters(HiddenFileFilter.HIDDEN); // // Walk one directory Files.walkFileTree(dir, Collections.emptySet(), 1, visitor); System.out.println(visitor.getPathCounters()); System.out.println(visitor.getFileList()); // visitor.getPathCounters().reset(); // // Walk directory tree Files.walkFileTree(dir, visitor); System.out.println(visitor.getPathCounters()); System.out.println(visitor.getDirList()); System.out.println(visitor.getFileList());
Deprecating Serialization
Serialization is deprecated and will be removed in 3.0.
