Reading Directories in Skill

Hallo group,

How can I read the contents of a directory and get the result into
a skill list ?

rds

 

Guenther Sohler,

From cdsFinder:

getDirFiles(
S_name
)
=> l_strings

Returns a list of the names of all files and directories, including .
and .., in a directory.

 

Perfect

Thank you very much

 

be careful, getDirFiles stacktraces if the directory does not
exist, so you had better do the following.

(when (isDir S_name)
(getDirFiles s_name))

 

Nice.

% cds_root skill
REPORTS:
/path/to/cds/root/tools/IC5141_USR3

% skill

REPORTS:
("." ".." "dira" "dirb" "dirc")

REPORTS:
*Error* getDirFiles: nonexistent or permission denied - "/foo"

REPORTS:
("." ".." "dira" "dirb" "dirc")

%

See the ancient MyUnixBrowse.il appslib SKILL which uses "isFile" and
"isDir".
See also the public ADE SKILL function drbBrowseFormCB() which brings
up a browser that can be used as an example SKILL-based file &
directory graphical browser.

Just to complete this

if( !isDir( t_dirName ) then
printf( "%s is not a directory." t_dirName )
else
unless( isReadable( t_dirName )
printf( "%s is an unreadable directory." ) ;
)
l_strings = getDirFiles( t_dirName )
)

 

John,

Is there a method to get the Results Browser to bypass the "Browse
Project Hierarchy" dialog box and open the results browser directly to
the desired directory?
