            return name.startsWith("b");
         } 
      }; 
      String[] children = dir.list(filter);
      if (children == null) {
         System.out.println("Either dir does not exist or is not a directory"); 
      } else { 
         for (int i = 0; i< children.length; i++) {
            String filename = children[i];
            System.out.println(filename);
