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.

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. If I enter this command in a DOS windows in the same directory
> it finds the file so the wild card pattern is correct as far as DOS is
> concerned:
> {code}
> C:\dean\clipper\src\metadata.mail>dir 320620110821433-*.RWD
>
> Directory of C:\dean\clipper\src\metadata.mail
> 08/22/2011 12:36 PM 9,728 320620110821433-1.RWD
> 1 File(s) 9,728 bytes
> 0 Dir(s) 50,033,049,600 bytes free
> {code}
> This code should work according to the docs but it reports no file found:
> {code}
> void testFileNameFilter() throws IOException {
>
> String fileNamePrefix = "320620110821433";
> File f = new File(fileNamePrefix + ".rwd");
> String filterString = fileNamePrefix + "-*.RWD";
> FileFilter filter = new WildcardFileFilter(filterString,
> IOCase.SYSTEM);
> File dir = f.getCanonicalFile();
> File[] existingFiles = dir.listFiles(filter);
>
> if (existingFiles != null)
> for (File f2 : existingFiles)
> System.out.println(f2.getName());
> else
> System.out.println("No files found for" + filterString);
> }
> {code}
