Code: Select all
dir.s="C:\MyDir"
Debug RemoveDirectory_(@dir)
What exactly is your problem?

The link points to RemoveDirectory
A()
'A' means an ASCII string is required.
So ...
Code: Select all
*Ascii = Ascii("c:\MyDir")
RemoveDirectoryA_(*Ascii)
FreeMemory(*Ascii)
But the 'A' version is not directly available in PB.
You have to import it.
And why not DeleteDirectory()

Thank you
Writing code without pointer is wrong ?
Code: Select all
Procedure.l MyCreateDirectory()
Protected.l out
Protected.s mydir = GetUserDirectory(#PB_Directory_Desktop)+"test"
out=CreateDirectory_(mydir, #NUL)
If out=0
th_errcode=GetLastError_()
EndIf
ProcedureReturn out
EndProcedure
Procedure.l MyRemoveDirectory()
Protected.l out
Protected.s mydir = GetUserDirectory(#PB_Directory_Desktop)+"test"
out=RemoveDirectory_(mydir)
If out=0
th_errcode=GetLastError_()
EndIf
ProcedureReturn out
EndProcedure
MyCreateDirectory()
Delay (2000)
MyRemoveDirectory()

Code: Select all
dir.s="X:\MyDir"
r1 = RemoveDirectory_(@dir)
Its automatic compile as ASM
Code: Select all
; r1 = RemoveDirectory_(@dir)
MOV rax,qword [v_dir]
MOV rcx,rax
CALL RemoveDirectoryW
MOV qword [v_r1],rax

RemoveDirectory_() automatically uses RemoveDirectoryW_() if you use it in PB.
And you can use the variable without @, because when it is defined as string, the variable itself is a pointer to the string location.
But you can also use @ in front. It is no error and sometimes it makes it more clear what is meant.
This has nothing to do with API.
Code: Select all
Dim a(2)
Debug a()
Debug @a()
Debug @a(0)
; But ...
Debug @a(1)
If I need the address I use @a(0),
So I see always that I want the address of element 0.

I know, that's why I wanted to tell the correct way.
