I filename os relative unless it starts with '/'. Isn't it the same on a Windows box except that an absolute name will start with a drive designator? Apart from that, anything else I've needed can be achieved by judicious use of the File class. At least, that's been my experience and I've written command line Java programs that walk directory structures examining the files and directories they find there and applying appropriate actions. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
