commons-io 1.3.2 · org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.AgeFileFilter

Filters files based on a cutoff time, can filter either newer files or files equal to or older.

For example, to print all files and directories in the current directory older than one day:

File dir = new File(".");
// We are interested in files older than one day
long cutoff = System.currentTimeMillis() - (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
String[] files = dir.list( new AgeFileFilter(cutoff) );
for ( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
    System.out.println(files[i]);
}

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
private boolean	acceptOlder Whether the files accepted will be older or newer.
private long	cutoff The cutoff time threshold.
