recursively walk a directory

[spacebuddy]

Is there a command in PB that will return all the files and directories?


Thanks

try this works on linux and windows

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit 

CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Windows 
   #Cdir = "\" 
CompilerElse 
   #Cdir = "/"
CompilerEndIf 

Procedure GetFileList(StartDir.s,List Lfiles.s(),pattern.s="*.*",Recursive=1)

   Static NewList Lpattern.s()
   Static bset,FileCount 
      
   If Not bset
      pattern = RemoveString(pattern,"*")
      ct = CountString(pattern,"|") + 1
      ClearList(lpattern())
      For a = 1 To ct 
           AddElement(Lpattern())
           Lpattern() = UCase(StringField(pattern,a,"|"))
       Next
       bset=1
    ElseIf depth = 0 
       bset = 0
    EndIf 
 
  mDir = ExamineDirectory(#PB_Any, StartDir, "*.*") 
  If mDir 
    While NextDirectoryEntry(mDir)
      If DirectoryEntryType(mDir) = #PB_DirectoryEntry_File
          Directory = startdir
          FileName.s = DirectoryEntryName(mDir)
           ForEach Lpattern()
                If FindString(UCase(FileName),lpattern(), 1)
                  FullFileName.s = StartDir + #Cdir + FileName
                  AddElement(LFiles()) 
                  Lfiles() = FullFileName
                  FileCount+1
               EndIf
            Next  
           
      Else

         EndIf
      EndIf
   Wend
   FinishDirectory(mDir)
  EndIf
   
  ProcedureReturn FileCount

EndProcedure


Global NewList myfiles.s() 

If GetFileList("/home/idle",myfiles(),"*.*",0)  ;get all files in the directory not recursive 
  ForEach myfiles() 
     Debug myfiles() 
  Next   
EndIf 

ClearList(myfiles())
Debug "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"

If GetFileList("/home/idle",myfiles(),"*.pb|*.txt",1)  ;get all pb and txt files in the directory recursively  
  ForEach myfiles() 
     Debug myfiles() 
  Next   
EndIf

Thanks idle, I tried the code and it works except I get duplicates of every file.

[idle]

I can't see why it's duplicating on osx?
Can someone test and fix it for OSX please

[spacebuddy]

Tested it on Windows and it works perfectly.

Under Mac OS/X there is something wrong, each file is duplicated.

Hi,

works on Mountain Lion with PB 4.61 and PB5b6.

Thanks for sharing!

thanks

maybe you could help spacebuddy figure out why it's not working on his system
