UDFs

[FuryCell]

here are the udfs i just created:

_FileList()

;===============================================================================
;
; Description:      lists all files and folders in a specified path (Similar to using Dir with the /B Switch)
; Syntax:           _FileList($sPath)

; Parameter(s):        $sPath = Path to generate filelist for
; Requirement(s):   None
; Return Value(s):  On Success - Returns an array containing the list of files and folders in the specified path
;                    On Failure - Returns an empty string "" if no files are found and sets @Error to 1 if the path is not found
; Author(s):        SolidSnake <MetalGearX91@Hotmail.com>
; Note(s):            The array returned is one-dimensional and is made up as follows:
;                    $array[0] = Number of Files\Folders returned
;                    $array[1] = 1st File\Folder
;                    $array[2] = 2nd File\Folder
;                    $array[3] = 3rd File\Folder

More than 24 hours and still no reply?

[Helge]

Tested on Windows 2000 (SP4) and they all seem to work perfectly.

I said "seem to work", because I'm currently on a restricted computer,

so I'm unable to enter the registry to manually check the keys and values.

Anyway.. Nice work SolidSnake !

[Helge]

Just an idea..

What about adding another parameter to _FileList where you could

decide if it should return files or folders (or both) ... ?

FileList("c:\",0); Default (shows files and folders)
FileList("c:\",1); Just files
FileList("c:\",2;; Just folders

What do you think ?

[layer]

Arghh... I was going to create a filelist type function, and then make another that would -- well, I'll make it first and then tell you, if I ever find the time!!! AHH

BTW,

Good work!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I would like to do that but don't know of anyway to tell files and folders apart.

If anyone knows and would like to help me out feel free.

anyway Thanks for the feedback Layer and Helge

FileGetAttrib() ?

Cheers

[layer]

here is a function i just made to determine that!

Func FileOrFolder($path)
   Local $len = StringLen($path)
   If StringMid($path, $len) = "\" Then
      MsgBox(0, "Folder", $path & " is a folder.")
   Else
      MsgBox(0, "File", $path & " is a file.")
   EndIf
EndFunc  ;==>FileOrFolder

FileOrFolder("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe")
FileOrFolder("C:\")

good luck!

EDIT: Also, FileGetAttrib would work, but my function looks so much cooler! Don't ya think

[Helge]

Also, how can the user tell apart a folder and a file ?

One way of doing it is to add a "\" at the end of the folders..

Can't think of another decent method...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't understand do you mean for my script to add a "\"?

If so i would need to know how to find the diffrence

Edit:Oops! Didn't see layers post. :">

I will try to update file list with the flags like you said using layers idea of filegetattrib

Edited May 30, 2005 by SolidSnake

[layer]

Oh yea! You don't need to use the MsgBox stuff too lol, that was just for testing! Use it and modify it as you'd like!

[FuryCell]

Here is the new version.    I added the flag Parameters that Helge gave me the idea for to _FileList ().I also made _RegValueList() and _RegKeyList () into one function called _RegList() that uses flags

Now it contains two functions.

_FileList ():

;===============================================================================
;
; Description:      Lists all files and folders in a specified path. (Similar to using Dir with the /B Switch)
; Syntax:           _FileList($sPath,$iFlag=0)

; Parameter(s):        $sPath = Path to generate filelist for
;                   $iFlag = determines weather to return file or folders or both
;                      $iFlag=0(Default) Return both files and folders
;                      $iFlag=1 Return files only
;                      $iFlag=2 Return Folders only
;
; Requirement(s):   None
; Return Value(s):  On Success - Returns an array containing the list of files and folders in the specified path
;                    On Failure - Returns an empty string "" if no files are found and sets @Error on errors
;                      @Error=1 Path Not Found
;                      @Error=2 Invalid $iFlag
; Author(s):        SolidSnake <MetalGearX91@Hotmail.com>
; Note(s):          The array returned is one-dimensional and is made up as follows:
;                   $array[0] = Number of Files\Folders returned
;                   $array[1] = 1st File\Folder
;                   $array[2] = 2nd File\Folder
;                   $array[3] = 3rd File\Folder
;                   $array[n] = nth File\Folder
;
;                   Special Thanks to Helge,Layer and /dev/null for help with the $iFlag update
;===============================================================================

and _RegList ():

;===============================================================================
;
; Description:      lists all entries in a specified key
; Syntax:           _RegList($sKey,$$iFlag=0)

; Parameter(s):       $sKey = Key to generate keylist for
;                       $iFlag=0(Default) Return both keys and values
;                       $iFlag=1 Return values only
;                       $iFlag=2 Return keys only
; Requirement(s):   None
; Return Value(s):  On Success - Returns an array containing the list of entries in the specified key
;                    On Failure - Returns an empty string "" if no entries are found and sets @Error on errors
;                            @Error=1 $sKey not found
;                            @Error=2 Invalid $iFlag
; Author(s):        SolidSnake <MetalGearX91@Hotmail.com>
; Note(s):            The array returned is one-dimensional and is made up as follows:
;                   $array[0] = Number of entries returned
;                   $array[1] = 1st entry
;                   $array[2] = 2nd entry
;                   $array[3] = 3rd entry
;                   $array[n] = nth entry

Updated. Fixed a typo with the documentation for _RegList ().

Wow, that's nice. Btw, the post above yours you have the _RegList() in the _FileList code box...

I know the perfect script to use this too! Thanks!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks for the feedback. I fixed the post.

[blindwig]

SolidSnake, (and anyone else interested)

I wrote similiar routines because I got tired of having to re-write a search routine (using FileFindFirst and FileFindNext) everytime I need to scan for files. I needed a little more powerful filtering (I can filter not only based on file/folder, but on any attributes, like hidden, archive, compressed, etc)

Have a look, I just posted them:

Updated. _FileList() now has wildcard ablilities.

; $iFlag=1 Return files Only

[HyperChao]

I've written a program very similar to this one, except mine also searches for files inside folders found in the original folder (and files in folders in those folders, etc ) until every single file contained in the specified folder is accounted for. If anyone is interested, I can post details. Perhaps SolidSnake can just implement it into his code, although two arrays are involved. I suppose the information can be condensed into one array, but then it gets messy...

[EDIT]

Okay, so condensing it into one array wasn't as messy as I thought... just complicated to explain. Here goes:

$list[0][0] = number of folders and subfolders

$list[0][x] = x-th folder (a folder's number has no significance as to its location)

$list[x][0] = number of files in the folder $list[0][x]

$list[x][$y] = y-th file in folder $list[0][x]

The path stored in $list[0][x] is enough so that $dir & $list[0][x] will take you where you want. The code isn't documented well, but if anyone wants me to post it just ask.
