Hi, I will like have function in my application that scan to particular
folder so that when that is new file copy in, it will able to detect it and
perform soem process. Anyone can give some example(in JAVA code) for me?

I think it may related to multithread or some kind of "folder listener"

you want to look at File.list and filters. See
http://mindprod.com/fillter/file.html and

You want a periodic process that does this every N seconds. Look at
either of the two Timer classes.

Unfortunately, there is no platform independent way to have the OS
tell you when to scan because the dir has changed.
