HB_DirScan

Scan a directory tree and build a files and folders list

Syntax

      hb_DirScan(<cPath>, [<cFileMask>], [<cAttr>]) --> <aFiles>

Arguments

<cPath> : A character string holding the drive, directory and/or file specification to retrieve information for. Default is current directory.

<cFileMask> : For filter files to add to the list, (can include wild card characters). Default is ‘*.*’.

<cAttr> : A character string holding file attributes can be specified. Information about files carrying these attributes is retrieved. One or more characters of the table below can be included in . For add directories to the list add ‘D’ to .

Attributes for HB_DirScan() :

         Attribute Meaning
         --------- -------------------------
             A     Archive
             D     Directories
             H     Hidden files
             R     Read-only
             S     System files

Returns

<aFiles> : A two-dimensional array of five columns; holding information about files in the and the that match . An empty array, if no matched file found or an error occured.

Description

The HB_DirScan() function is similair to the Directory(). The first difference is that HB_DirScan() scans recursively all sub- directories in the directory specified with. And second difference is Directory() don’t requires parameter, instead this info included in the .

The result is a two dimensional array . Columns can be accessed using #define constants from the DIRECTRY.CH file.

Constants for the HB_DirScan() array :

         Symbolic Numeric
         Constant Value  Meaning             Data Type
         -------- -----  ------------------- --------------
         F_NAME     1    File name           Character

HB_FileExists

Posted on by vivaclipper

HB_FileExists

Tests for the existence of a file

Syntax

      HB_FileExists( <cFileSpec> ) --> <lExist>

Arguments

<cFileSpec> : A character string holding the relative or absolute name of a file

Return

<lFileExist> : .T. (true) when the file <cFileSpec> exists, otherwise .F. (false) is returned.

Description

The HB_FileExists() function is used to check if a file exists that matches the specification <lFileExist>.

This is a character string containing the absolute or relative path of a file.

Note

HB_FileExists() is a Harbour level function to check for the existence of a file. This works better than FILE() in most situations, but it doesn’t accept any wildcards.

Example

      Assuming this directory tree and files exist :

      C:\
         | temp                     D
         + ---- + Dir1              D

                |      test1.bat    F
                |      test1.txt    F
                + Dir2              D
                       doc2.docx    F
                       test2.bat    F
                       test2.txt    F

      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\' )                        //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\*.*' )                     //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\*.*' )                //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\*.' )                 //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\test*.*' )            //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\test.bat' )           //  .T.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\Dir' )                //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\Dir*.*' )             //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\Dir1' )               //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\Dir1*' )              //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\Dir2' )               //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\Dir2*' )              //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\Dir1\test1.*' )       //  .F.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\Dir1\test1.bat' )     //  .T.
      ? HB_FileExists( 'C:\temp\Dir1\*.bat' )         //  .F.

File()

Posted on by vivaclipper

File

Tests for the existence of file(s)

Syntax

      File( <cFileSpec> ) --> lExists

Argument

<cFileSpec> DOS skeleton (mask) or file name to find

Returns

<lExists> : true (.T.) if the file exists or logical false (.F.)

Description

This function return a logical true (.T.) if the given filename <cFileSpec> exist. DOS skeletons symbols may be used in the filename in <cFileSpec>, as may the drive and/or path name. If a path is not explicitly specified, File() will look for the file in the SET DEFAULT path, then in each SET PATH path, until the file is found or there are no more paths to search. The DOS PATH is never searched and the current drive/directory is only searched if SET DEFAULT is blank.

Example

      Assuming this directory tree and files exist :

      C:\
         | temp                     D
         + ---- + Dir1              D

                       doc2.docx    F
                       test2.bat    F
                       test2.txt    F

      ? File( 'C:\' )                        //  .F.
      ? File( 'C:\*.*' )                     //  .T.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\*.*' )                //  .T.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\*.' )                 //  .F.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\test*.*' )            //  .T.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\test.bat' )           //  .T.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\Dir' )                //  .F.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\Dir*.*' )             //  .F.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\Dir1' )               //  .F.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\Dir1*' )              //  .F.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\Dir2' )               //  .F.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\Dir2*' )              //  .F.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\Dir1\test1.*' )       //  .T.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\Dir1\test1.bat' )     //  .T.
      ? File( 'C:\temp\Dir1\*.bat' )         //  .T.
