• deleteQuietly

   final static Boolean deleteQuietly(File $self)

  Try and delete this file or directory quietly. Deleting something quietly means that

  • No exceptions are thrown if an error occurs

  • No information is carried outside should an exception occur, meaning you have no information about why the deletion, if it failed

  Returns:

  true if, and only if, the file or directory was deleted.

• size

   final static Double size(File $self)

  Acquire the size of this file or directory in bytes. If this file-object denotes a directory, then the size of all files in the directory will be checked and the sum of them returned.

  Returns:

  The filesize of this file, or sum of sizes of all files in this directory.

• regexWalk

   final static List<File> regexWalk(File $self, List<Regex> filters, FileWalkDirection direction)

  Walk this directory and return all file-objects which match any of the regular expressions in the provided list.

  Parameters:

  filters - List of regular expressions to use for filtering.

  direction - The direction in which to walk the directory.

  Returns:

  All files inside this directory which matched the given filters.

• filteredWalk

   final static List<File> filteredWalk(File $self, List<String> filters, FilterType filterType, FileWalkDirection direction, Boolean recursive)

  Walk this directory and return all file-objects which match the specified filter-type using the passed list of filters.

  Parameters:

• create

   final static Unit create(File $self, Boolean createFileOrDir, Boolean asDirectory)

  All parent directories are created, but not the file itself.

  createFileOrDir in combination with asDirectory will result in this file being treated as a directory. As such, all parents will be created, along with this file itself being created as a directory.

  createFileOrDir without asDirectory will result in this file being created as a file.

  Parameters:

  createFileOrDir - Whether the file or directory should be created.

  asDirectory - true to create a directory, false to create a file.

• testFileWrite
