I recently had a problem to copy my PDF files to a different folder, to do this I could have used windows file search and select all and copy to a different location. But that’s a slow process and my windows explorer says “not responding” many times as there was above 3K PDFs on my computer. So I thought what if I can write a command line program which searches rigorously to the folders provided and finds all PDFs files for me and let me have a copy option to different folder as well. Initially I wrote a program to find files with “.pdf” extension but after successfully searching PDF files, I made it generic for all extensions provided. One interesting thing I found was the count of all the movies with “.avi” extension in some of my shared computer in my office. That was really interesting. And I thought of providing this to everyone, it would be more fun and useful for the needy as well. So let me share my small work which can be an effective tool for you as well. Download FileUtility.exe
The only thing required is JRE C:\Program Files\Java\JRE folder. For non-java users JRE can be downloaded on http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=45832.
For Java Developers if you want to reuse the FileUtility API. You can download the JAR and browse the Javadoc and if you want to download Javadoc
Enjoy!!!!!!
