Hello everyone,

Sorry in advance for my bad english I translated by Google.

I am looking to have the list of drive on linux and whether this is a key or not.

I am on windows but I can not find on Linux. I exported my research application tomtomax maxibox on Windows and Linux.

Thank you in advance to all

I'm not sure if this answers your request but if you're looking to list the drives available on Linux you use "fdisk -l".

Thank you, my request is code for PureBasic. I look for the device to locate a tomtom or not. From the application I am updating the Tomtom.

Best regards

Linux doesn't use "Drives" like Windows does.
Check your /mnt or /media folder for a INTERNAL folder. If it's there then your TomTom is plugged in and the INTERNAL directory IS the path to the TomTom "drive" itself.

On my PC it's /media/INTERNAL This directory only exists when my TomTom is plugged in. If I delete the /media/INTERNAL/art folder I actually delete the art folder in the TomTom. Hope this helps.

Why not ls /mnt or ls /MEDIA and pipe the results to your purebasic program?

ls /mnt | myprogramname

Thank you to everyone with the help, I found a solution I will give fair or event.

Code: Select all

Procedure getTomtomDrive()
;
  Define filename.s
  Define filereps.s
  If ExamineDirectory(0, "/media/", "*.*")
    While NextDirectoryEntry(0)
      filename = DirectoryEntryName(0)
      If DirectoryEntryType(0) = #PB_DirectoryEntry_Directory
        If FileSize("/media/"+filename+"/........") <> -1
          filereps = "/media/"+filename+"/"
        EndIf
      EndIf
    Wend
  EndIf
  MessageRequester("MAXI-BOX Pro", filereps, #PB_MessageRequester_Ok)

EndProcedure

........ is a find file

For you is good or not?
