Java 2 finding files ect.

[martystudio]

i need the source code that will:

make java search for:8 files in the system directory. their called

det.dll
den.dll
drea.dll
dges.dll
set.dll
osd.dll
hgg.dll
if the are found they will open up

Cal.exe

If they dont find those files, it will open up

istallfiles.exe

Unless I'm seriously mistaken you can't access the local file system using javascript in a web browser, that would be a system security violation.

[reverendflash]

are you asking for Java, or JavaScript?

Two totally different mediums

It appears they are talking about Java. They said Java, and everything they said sounds more like a programming language than a web language, so all signs point to Java.

Unfortunately, I don't know Java. I wish I did.

[reverendflash]

That is what I thought, just clarifying abzoid's statement is all...

ignore me...

He must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque. :geek:

I think Albuquerque should fix their signs. EVERYONE takes wrong turns at Albuquerque, it CAN'T just be coincidence.

If we're talking about a stand alone Java App then that's a whole different ball game, but a Java applet running in a browser still can't access the local file system.

Well I don't know too much about Java, but isn't Java used for programming as well as creating applets?

[abzoid]

Right, that's why it's important to know if we're talkin' about a Java application or a Java applet. Two entirely different critters, written with the same language, but two different sets of rules re: access to the local file system.

Ah, I misread your statement, I thought you were stating that it was a Java applet. Sorry. "my bad"

[abzoid]
