      String[] files = currentDirectory.pst();
      System.out.println("All files and Folders.
");
      for( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
         System.out.println(files[i]);
      }
      System.out.println("
File with name input.txt
");
      String[] acceptedNames = {"input", "input.txt"};
      String[] filesNames = currentDirectory.pst( new NameFileFilter(acceptedNames, IOCase.INSENSITIVE) );
      for( int i = 0; i < filesNames.length; i++ ) {
