Michael and Christophe,

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. endsWith function is what
I need for this purpose.

I previously used a function "contains", but it did not work. Do I need
to include some package to get this function work? I have background for
C language, but not for Java.

Thanks,

Zhengyu

Hi Zhengyu, Christophe,

it very simple: The ImageJ macro language has an "endsWith" function:
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#E

if (endsWith(filename, ".jpg")) ...
else if (endsWith(filename, ".txt")) ...
else if (endsWith(filename, ".zvd")) ...

For the loop, see, e.g., the ListFilesRecursively macro
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/ListFilesRecursively.txt
