Try   List lt String gt  textFiles String directory      List lt String gt  textFiles   new ArrayList lt String gt       File dir   new File directory     for  File file   dir listFiles          if  file getName   endsWith    txt             textFiles add file getName                 return textFiles      You want to do a case insensitive search in which case       if  file getName   toLowerCase   endsWith    txt         If you want to recursively search for through a directory tree for text files  you should be able to adapt the above as either a recursive function or an iterative function using a stack

You can use the listFiles   method provided by the java io File class   import java io File  import java io FilenameFilter   public class Filter        public File   finder  String dirName           File dir   new File dirName            return dir listFiles new FilenameFilter                       public boolean accept File dir  String filename                          return filename endsWith   txt

I made my solution based on the posts I found here with Google  And I thought there is no harm to post mine as well even if it is an old thread   The only plus this code gives is that it can iterate through sub-directories as well   import java io File  import java io FileFilter  import java util ArrayList  import java util Arrays  import java util List  import org apache commons io filefilter DirectoryFileFilter  import org apache commons io filefilter WildcardFileFilter    Method is as follows   List  lt File gt  exploreThis String dirPath        File topDir   new File dirPath        List lt File gt  directories   new ArrayList lt  gt         directories add topDir        List lt File gt  textFiles   new ArrayList lt  gt          List lt String gt  filterWildcards   new ArrayList lt  gt         filterWildcards add    txt        filterWildcards add    doc         FileFilter typeFilter   new WildcardFileFilter filterWildcards        while  directories isEmpty      false                List lt File gt  subDirectories   new ArrayList             for File f   directories                        subDirectories addAll Arrays asList f listFiles  FileFilter DirectoryFileFilter INSTANCE                 textFiles addAll Arrays asList f listFiles typeFilter                        directories clear            directories addAll subDirectories              return textFiles
