A simple test shows this to be the case, but your reasoning precludes having to run such a test in the first place. My code "gets' the first N files from listFiles(), for some definition of "first", but it certainly doesn't only get N files from the OS. Based on Wojtek's later post, I'd be examining the entire problem in more detail before arriving at a decent solution. I don't think most of the problem pertaining to offering reasonable batches of files to a Java program for processing is something that I'd address in Java anyway. AHS
