[Implemented] Better File Lib

[Dummy]

1. I miss the missing share_read flag in ALL PB's Filecommands! If I wanna write a log file I can't open it with notepad until the Program closes the file!

For the ReadFile() command maybe an optional flag?

ReadFile(#File, FileName$[, flags])

Possible values for flags:
#PB_FILE_NO_SHARE_READ
#PB_FILE_SHARE_WRITE

2. Better CreateDirectory():
The code

Code: Select all

CreateDirectory("C:\test1\test")

doesn't work, if "C:\test1" doesn't exist!

Please make it work!

I know there are lots of codes availble, but none of those is ASM/WinAPI optimized!

3. Please add ASM optimized
-CheckWildcardString(WildCards$, String$)
-CheckWildcardArray()
-CheckWildcardList()

I know for CheckWildcardString(WildCards$, String$) there are lots of codes availble, but none of those is ASM optimized!

If these changes are also possible for Linux, please add them to it, too!

That's normal. The Windows API command (CreateDirectory) also fails if you
do it like that. You need to use the MakeSureDirectoryPathExists API instead.

Hi,

why under dos cmd : "md c:\test1\test" work ?

Different command and different Operating System.

Hi,

I think a flag for OpenFile() to place the read/write pointer at the end of the file would be good.

Is it accessable through PureBasic?

Is the same Command(with same Parameters) avaible in Linux/comming Mac

> No -> no Crossplatform compatibility!

Hey Fred!

Will you add these features to PB till next Update?
