How do I list all files in a subdirectory in scala?

by

Scala code typically uses Java classes for dealing with I/O, including reading directories. So you have to do something like:

import java.io.File
def recursiveListFiles(f: File): Array[File] = {
  val these = f.listFiles
  these ++ these.filter(_.isDirectory).flatMap(recursiveListFiles)
}

You could collect all the files and then filter using a regex:

myBigFileArray.filter(f => """.*\.html$""".r.findFirstIn(f.getName).isDefined)

Or you could incorporate the regex into the recursive search:

import scala.util.matching.Regex
def recursiveListFiles(f: File, r: Regex): Array[File] = {
  val these = f.listFiles
  val good = these.filter(f => r.findFirstIn(f.getName).isDefined)
  good ++ these.filter(_.isDirectory).flatMap(recursiveListFiles(_,r))
}
