The listFiles method give you an array of files. That can tell you how many files and directories are in the current directory. You would have to loop through that list checking each file to see if it is a file or directory to get an exact number.
You could loop over that array, and for each item that is a File, rename it. --- rohit kuttappan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Greeting all! > > I'm trying to write a Java utility that could > enumerate and rename files = > in a specified directory. > Say, I have a directory called MyPictures which > contains .jpg & .gif = > files.
