Re: FilenameFilter woes

Andrew,

    I did not see, when I initially read your post, how it was
helpful. However, now I do. I will make a shorter example, which
makes sense. There`s hardly any way for someone to quickly take a
look at what I initially posted. In addition, since I`ve made no
progress, there`s no good alternatives, anyway.

    As for the recursion, this was just something else which I thought
might be involved in the problem. However, I made a couple of small
programs that shows that recursion itself is not the problem. I
thought that, perhaps, it had something to do with me creating new
File types in the recursion. You may find them below, hopefully in a
usable format. However, in retrospect, I don`t know why you would
want them.

Thank you, Alan
