Thank you for your answer (and for your help_)

Maybe this, public String[] list(FilenameFilter filter) is an solution How I can use this in processing?

I try this

import java.io.File;

File dir = new File("folderName"); File [] files = dir.listFiles();

// here, if i try to print the contents of the files list: println(dir) or println(files), i also receive errors

void setup() {

}

void draw() { for (int i = 0; i <= files.length - 1; i++)
{

String path = files[i].getAbsolutePath();
if(path.toLowerCase().endsWith(".properties.ser"))
{
    println(path.toLowerCase() + ".properties.ser", i);
}

} } https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/1747/reading-filesnames-from-a-folder

I hope that there is something more... simple ;-)

GoToLoop Ι'm trying this now...

May 2015 edited May 2015 Flag We can directly get a File instance from "/data/" subfolder using dataFile() in place of dataPath()! And File doesn't need to import. It's already done by Processing!

String[] archives;

void setup() { archives = getFilesFromDataFolder(); printArray(archives); exit(); }

String[] getFilesFromDataFolder() { return dataFile("").list(); }
