Multiple patterns in directory commands

Derek · Post by **Derek** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 10:29 am

Would be handy to have multiple paterns in the directory searching commands, so for example you can find all the jpeg's+bmp's+tiff's in one go without having to examine the extensions yourself.

Code: Select all

Directory$ = "c:\"
If ExamineDirectory(0, Directory$, "*.sys")  ;*.sys works  *.sys;*.bat finds nothing
  While NextDirectoryEntry(0)
    If DirectoryEntryType(0) = #PB_DirectoryEntry_File
      Type$ = " [File] "
    Else
      Type$ = " [Sub-Dir] "
    EndIf
    Debug DirectoryEntryName(0) + Type$ + "- Size in byte: " + Str(DirectoryEntrySize(0))
  Wend
  FinishDirectory(0)
EndIf

Ah, did a quick search but didn't notice/find the request.

Even my post was a second one: It has already been requested before I did it.

But this does not matter: It's just a reminder for Fred.
