Lance,
Check the Javadocs.
The method name is endsWith(String s)
You can't use a switch statement b/c endsWith returns a boolean. You would
have to use a if-else if construct.
You need something like:
String fileName;
.
.
.
/* assign a string to filename */
if (filename.endsWith(".txt")
{
// Do something
}
else if (filename.endsWith(".pdf")
{
}
// etc.
.
.
.
Regards,
Richard
