       File dir = new File(".");
       String[] files = dir.list( new NameFileFilter("Test") );
       for ( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
           System.out.println(files[i]);
       }

    - #### NameFileFilter

          public NameFileFilter(String name)

      Constructs a new case-sensitive name file filter for a single name.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name to allow, must not be null
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the name is null

    - #### NameFileFilter

          public NameFileFilter(String name,
                        IOCase caseSensitivity)

      Construct a new name file filter specifying case-sensitivity.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name to allow, must not be null
        `caseSensitivity` - how to handle case sensitivity, null means case-sensitive
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the name is null

    - #### NameFileFilter

          public NameFileFilter(String[] names)

      Constructs a new case-sensitive name file filter for an array of names.

      The array is not cloned, so could be changed after constructing the instance. This would be inadvisable however.

      Parameters:
        `names` - the names to allow, must not be null
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the names array is null

    - #### NameFileFilter

          public NameFileFilter(String[] names,
                        IOCase caseSensitivity)

      Constructs a new name file filter for an array of names specifying case-sensitivity.
      Parameters:
        `names` - the names to allow, must not be null
        `caseSensitivity` - how to handle case sensitivity, null means case-sensitive
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the names array is null

    - #### NameFileFilter

          public NameFileFilter(List<String> names)

      Constructs a new case-sensitive name file filter for a list of names.

        `ClassCastException` - if the list does not contain Strings

    - #### NameFileFilter

          public NameFileFilter(List<String> names,
                        IOCase caseSensitivity)

      Constructs a new name file filter for a list of names specifying case-sensitivity.
      Parameters:
        `names` - the names to allow, must not be null
        `caseSensitivity` - how to handle case sensitivity, null means case-sensitive
