I want to search for all .po
files in a directory and add them to a HashMap.
My directories looks like the following:
dir1\<any number of subdirs>\*_en_*.po
*_it_*.po
...
dir2\<any number of subdirs>\*_en_*.po
. *_es_*.po
. ...
.
dirn\<any number of subdirs>\...
How can I represent/search these files with the help of java-Streams and HashMap<String, List<File>>
, with en/de/it.po
as a List<File>
type and the respective directory root of these files dir1\subdir-1\**\subdir-n
as a key?
I've tried the following solution from a similar post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/62824848/10042081 but I wasn't able to manipulate the filter/groupings correctly in order to solve my problem.
I've also tried to use listFiles()
+ isDirectory()
recursively in order to achieve the desired result, with no success.
This is pretty simple using Files.find()
to walk a directory tree looking for matching files, and Collectors.groupingBy()
to convert that stream into the desired map.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (String dir : args) {
try (var files = Files.find(Path.of(dir), 256,
(p, attr) -> p.getFileName().toString().endsWith(".po"))) {
Map<String, List<Path>> po_files =
files.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(p -> p.getParent().toString()));
System.out.println(po_files);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println(e);
System.exit(1);
}
}
}
}
This will give you a map where the keys are paths to directories, and the values are lists of paths to all the .po
files in those directories.
