hi guys....wanna make sure my code is alright:


i have a drop down menu with items to select being the names of eiles available in a directory. after hard search i implemented this code by adding some code lines to the templated constructor of JFrame: note that am working using netbeans 5.5:

public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {

/** Creates new form NewJFrame */
public NewJFrame() {
initComponents();
String curDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
jTextArea1.setText(curDir);
File dir = new File(curDir);

String[] children = dir.list();
if (children == null) {
// Either dir does not exist or is not a directory
}
else {
for (int i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
// Get filename of file or directory
String filename = children[i];
if (filename.indexOf(".txt")!=-1)
jComboBox1.addItem(filename);
}
}
}


i am running the program and until now no errors appear however i think entering a directory can be done in a more efficient way especially if a large number of files exist. who may help me thinking about an alternative solution?

thanks
