Directory() problem with 7.05

[Taavi]

Hi,
in our tests with FWH 7.05 Directory( cDirName, "D" ) returns not only directory names but all filenames in this dir. Therefore

function lIsDir( cDirName )
return Len( Directory( cDirName, "D" ) ) == 1

Returns always .f. with 7.05

Somebody with the same problem here?

Thanks,
Taavi

That's the normal DIRECTORY() behavior. If you want to filter out the files you have to scan the array for "D" attribute (F_ATTR).

Please consult Clipper/Harbour/xHarbour docs.

IF so, then FWH function lIsdir() is not working any more (worked ok with xHarbour/FWH January builds. Had to replace it with Harbour IsDirectory() in our code

Yes, I confirm the problem with lIsDir().

It has been changed in the last FWH version. This is from the previous one:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

function lIsDir( cNewDir )   // Checks an existing directory

   local cDir   := CurDrive() + ":\" + CurDir()
   local lIsDir := lChDir( cNewDir )

   if lIsDir
      lChDir( cDir )
   endif

return lIsDir

Here it is working fine:

MsgInfo( lIsDir( "c:\windows" ) )

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Yes, but it returns .T. even if a file is specified:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    ? LISDIR( "c:\windows\regedit.exe" )

    RETURN NIL

This seems to be the right code:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

function lIsDir( cDirName )

   local aResult := Directory( cDirName, "D" )

return Len( aResult ) == 1 .and. aResult[ 1 ][ 5 ] == "D"


[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Maybe it's better

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

return Len( aResult ) == 1 .and. "D" $ aResult[ 1 ][ 5 ]

?

Enrico,

aResult[ 1 ][ 5 ] may contain some other values besides the "D", at the same time ?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Yes, a directory can have attributes other than "D".

ok, thanks!
