## Class FileFileFilter

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.AbstractFileFilter
  - - org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.FileFileFilter

- All Implemented Interfaces:

      public class FileFileFilter
      extends AbstractFileFilter

       File dir = new File(".");
       String[] files = dir.list( FileFileFilter.FILE );
       for ( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
           System.out.println(files[i]);
       }
