All Implemented Interfaces:

public class FileExtensionFilter

extends RegExpFilter

Filters out all files with the requested extension(s).
The class uses regular expressions to sort out the required files.
The regular expression used for a single extension filter is:
.\*\x2Eextension
e.g..\*\x2Ejava
when multiple extensions are used the filter looks like this:
.\*\x2Eextension1||.\*\x2Eextension2||...||.\*\x2Eextensionx
e.g..\*\x2Ejpg||.\*\x2Egif||.\*\x2Ebmp
By default the matcher is case sensitive, i.e. the extension jpg and JPG are not the same.
