Not the problem I was referring to, and if you think

utterly) failed to communicate my message.

I'll try again, a different way, with more words.

When I copy/pasted that original source (the same
thing would happen for the new source) into my
editor/compiler and told it to 'compile' the code posted,
it pointed out a number of errors, including..

D:\projects\FileListFilter.java:39: unclosed string literal

Try it yourself, from the Google representation**, or your
own news reader.

If other people can compile the code, and see
the problem for themselves, 'at runtime', code
becomes a lot easier to debug. For that reason,
I recommend posting an SSCCE.
<http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.html>

There are a number of things that need to 'work'
for code to be considered an SSCCE, including
that an SSCCE that tries to demonstrate a
runtime problem, should compile cleanly.

Code with wrapped lines does not compile cleanly.
<http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.html#linewidth>

Te help check that line width is less than the width
that will be wrapped, I provide the Text Width Checker.
<http://www.physci.org/twc.jnlp>

Note there are a number of other tips in the SSCCE
document about how to go about creating an SSCCE,
please read it, as the code is lacking in other respects
detailed in the document, and I could not be bothered
adding those bits myself.

* So. After having gone 'the long way around', I'd like
to know ..
1) If you clicked the link to the TWC earlier?
2) What happened when you did? and
3) Why you might have thought that related to file
name filters and recursion?
