Dean Schulze commented on IO-281: --------------------------------- This looks like unexpected behavior from the Java File class. If I create a File object for a file that exists in the current directory the various File methods all return either null or a path that ends with the file name instead of the directory name. I've resorted to manually parsing off the file name from the end of the absolute path. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7153729/java-cant-get-the-path-of-a-file-that-exists-in-the-current-directory/7154296#7154296 This can probably be closed out. > WildcardFileFilter fails for wild card pattern with a '*' in it > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IO-281 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-281 > Project: Commons IO > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Filters > Affects Versions: 1.3.2 > Environment: Windows XP > Reporter: Dean Schulze > Priority: Blocker > > The code below reports no files found when there is a file matching the wild > card pattern.
