Sebb commented on IO-531:
-------------------------

The PDF says:

{quote}
I want to use the org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.listFiles(File, IOFileFilter, 
IOFileFilter) api to list all the files except the files in subdirectory “se”
{quote}

That could be coded as:

{code}
FileUtils.listFiles(directory, TrueFileFilter.TRUE, new NotFileFilter(new 
NameFileFilter("se")))
{code}

Note that you can also subclass AbstractFileFilter as follows:

{code}
new AbstractFileFilter() {
    @Override
    public boolean accept(File file) {
        return ! file.getName().contains("se");
    }
}
{code}

No need to check if the file is a directory as the dirfilter is only called for 
directories.

or you could use

{code}
new AbstractFileFilter() {
    @Override
    public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
        return ! name.contains("se");
    }
}
{code}

Both would be closer to the solutions shown in the PDF which check for "se" in 
the directory name
