Pass a FileFilter (coded here anonymously) into the listFiles() method of the dir File, like this: File dir = new File(“some/path/to/dir”); final String id = “XXX”; // needs to be final so the anonymous class can use it File[] matchingFiles = dir.listFiles(new FileFilter() { public boolean accept(File pathname) { return pathname.getName().equals(“a_id_” + id + “.zip”); … Read more
You can use find to do this: $ find . -name ‘*.txt’ -a ! -name ‘*Thomas.txt’
The big difference between public <T extends Animal> void takeThing(ArrayList<T> list) and public void takeThing(ArrayList<? extends Animal> list) is that in the former method you can refer to “T” within the method as the concrete class that was given.

We cannot open a file using a wildcard – imagine the chaos if we could! You’ll need to use Dir(ActiveWorkbook.Path & “\302113*.xlsm”) to loop through the files that this returns. If there will only be one then just use this function once: Dim sFound As String sFound = Dir(ActiveWorkbook.Path & “\302113*.xlsm”) ‘the first one found … Read more
You’re most likely seeing a special feature of some shells that allow wildcard filename patterns to match across directory boundaries, as opposed to a single *, which is a wildcard that matches only within a directory.

You’d have to build the SQL dynamically. As a starting point, this would get you the column names you’re seeking. SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE table_name=”Foods” AND table_schema=”YourDB” AND column_name LIKE ‘Vegetable%’
You can’t use a wildcard like that, but to get the desired result (ID starts with lorem and ends with Ipsum) you can use the attribute starts-with and ends-with selectors instead, like so: p[id^=”lorem”][id$=”Ipsum”] Remember that by linking multiple attribute selectors like this (along with the p type selector), you’re doing an AND match with … Read more
