dir command equivalent?

[djbitchpimp]

What would be an equivalent way to print out the contents of the
current directory in Java? Also, how would I change the current
directory to list files in other directories?

Thanks,

Java is not a command shell. There is no (modifiable) concept of a
current directory. It's also not based on output.

The File class provides the capability that you would need. But you'll
have to provide the functionality of printing out and keeping track of
the current directory yourself.

Play with this.

It may give all nessasary stuff you need.
