Class FilePathProcessor

java.lang.Object

edu.stanford.nlp.util.FilePathProcessor

public class FilePathProcessor
extends Object

The FilePathProcessor traverses a directory structure and applies the processFile method to files meeting some criterion. It is implemented as static methods, not as an extension of File.

Note: This is used in our old code in ling/trees, but newer code should probably use io.FileSequentialCollection

Method Detail

processPath

public static void processPath(String pathStr,
                               String suffix,
                               boolean recursively,
                               FileProcessor processor)

Apply a method to the files under a given directory and perhaps its subdirectories.

Parameters:

pathStr - file or directory to load from as a String

suffix - suffix (normally "File extension") of files to load

recursively - true means descend into subdirectories as well

processor - The FileProcessor to apply to each File

processPath

public static void processPath(File path,
                               String suffix,
                               boolean recursively,
                               FileProcessor processor)

Apply a method to the files under a given directory and perhaps its subdirectories.

Parameters:

path - file or directory to load from

suffix - suffix (normally "File extension") of files to load

recursively - true means descend into subdirectories as well

processor - The FileProcessor to apply to each File

processPath

public static void processPath(File path,
                               FileFilter filter,
                               FileProcessor processor)

Apply a function to the files under a given directory and perhaps its subdirectories. If the path is a directory then only files within the directory (perhaps recursively) that satisfy the filter are processed. If the pathis a file, then that file is processed regardless of whether it satisfies the filter. (This semantics was adopted, since otherwise there was no easy way to go through all the files in a directory without descending recursively via the specification of a FileFilter.)

Parameters:

path - file or directory to load from

filter - a FileFilter of files to load. The filter may be null, and then all files are processed.

processor - The FileProcessor to apply to each File
