Search File in Java Recursively ~ foundjava

An example recursive logic on searching file like windows search in Java. This logic is much similar to the logic used in deleting folder in Java

Search File in Java - Program

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class JavaSearchFile
{
static Vector<File> v;

 public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
 {

 // Create a file pointing a folder
 File f=new File(args[0]);
 
 // Create a vector of found files
 v=new Vector<File>();
 
 // Print the search starting
 System.out.println("\nStarting search....\n-------------------------\n");
 
 // Go search args[1] (2nd arg) in dir f
 search(f,args[1]);
 
 // Print the found files
 print();
 
 }

 public static void search(File file,String name)
 {
 

 // Print where the search is going on..
 System.out.println("Searching in "+file.getAbsolutePath());

  // Check if file is directory/folder
  if(file.isDirectory())
  {


   if(file.getName().contains(name))
   {
   
   // Add the file to found files vector
   v.addElement(file);
   
   }

  // Get all files in the folder
  File[] files=file.listFiles();


   for(int i=0;i<files.length;i++)
   {
   try
   {

    if(files[i].isDirectory())
    {
    
    // Go search for files if dir
    search(files[i],name);
    
    }

    else
    {

     if(files[i].getName().toLowerCase().contains(name.toLowerCase()))
     {
     
     // Add the found file to vector
     v.addElement(files[i]);
     
     }
   
    }
    
   }catch(Exception e){}
   
   }

  }
 
 }

 public static void print()
 {
 
 // Create a file array of v size
 File[] f=new File[v.size()];
 
 // Copy vector data into f
 v.copyInto(f);

 // Print the results
 System.out.println("\nResults");
 System.out.println("------------------------------------------");
 
  // Loop till end of size
  for(File k:f)
  {
  
  // Print the file path
  System.out.println("Found at "+k.getAbsolutePath());
  
  }
 
 }

}
