All,
    I have the following code that should display only the contents of
the current directory that match the filter.  I am having trouble
setting the filter, because I believe it will only work in a FileDialog.

    Has anyone used filters in a text-only based application, not a gui?

    String filter;
    FilenameFilter filenameFilter; //how do I instantiate
filenameFilter??
    System.out.print("Enter FilenameFilter: ");
    filenameFilter = BR.readLine(); //this does not work, it is not
supposed to be a String
    filenameFilter.setFilenameFilter(filenameFilter); //this seems to
work only for FileDialog
    String directory[] = file.list(filenamefilter); //this should work,
once I instantiate filenameFilter
    for(int i=0; i<directory.length; i++)
        System.out.print(directory[i] + " "); //prints all filenames on
the same line

Thanks in advance,
