Thanks for the reply. I have opened that example and also added "import java.util.Date" to the top as you suggested, but I get the following error:

'Cannot find a class or type named "File" ' which points to: 

File[] files = listFiles(path);

The whole code is below (line 14 shows the error): 

2. import java.util.Date;
3. 
   
4. void setup() {
5. 
   
6.   // Path
7.   String path = sketchPath;
8. 
   
9.   println("Listing all filenames in a directory: ");
10.   String[] filenames = listFileNames(path);
11.   println(filenames);
12.   
13.   println("\nListing info about all files in a directory: ");
14.   File[] files = listFiles(path);
15.   for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
16.     File f = files[i];    
17.     println("Name: " + f.getName());
18.     println("Is directory: " + f.isDirectory());
19.     println("Size: " + f.length());
20.     String lastModified = new Date(f.lastModified()).toString();
21.     println("Last Modified: " + lastModified);
22.     println("-----------------------");
23.   }
24.   
25.   println("\nListing info about all files in a directory and all subdirectories: ");
26.   ArrayList allFiles = listFilesRecursive(path);
27.   
28.   for (int i = 0; i < allFiles.size(); i++) {
29.     File f = (File) allFiles.get(i);    
30.     println("Name: " + f.getName());
31.     println("Full path: " + f.getAbsolutePath());

Thanks in advance,
