1. DIR () & hidden things

Really "DIR()" does not work with hidden folders in WIN7. Does not work using the routine DIR () of Euman. and also does not work if you're using the Euphoria 4.0.3

Maybe a lot has changed in the Windows platform and there are new things that do not work with Euphoria.

For example: Using "DIR C:\" in the prompt's Windows console, the folder "Documents and Settings" does not appear as <DIR>, but appears as <JUNCTION>

I still do not know how to list hidden files and folders on Win7

Does anyone know anything about it?

Hey,

I dont have win 7 atm please turn trace on dir2(), all of the api is there todo what you need, it's probably something other than 'rashd' on that directory is what Im thinking.

you could also grab the free file mananger demo I wrote which is the graphical for dir2(), if you run the program and the directory shows up properly get back to me .. I'll also take a look at making that code alittle less messy .. lol

this is the graphical for that dir2() ~ http://www.rapideuphoria.com/effm2.zip

I am running Win7 and using Eu4.0.4 (compiled with MingW). It works just fine for me. Here is what I get for the 'Documents and Settings' folder ...

  { 
    "Documents and Settings", 
    "hsdNR", 
    0, 
    2009, 
    7, 
    14, 
    14, 
    53, 
    55, 
    548, 
    "DOCUME~1" 
  },

object dirs 
dirs = "C: \ \" 
dir2 = dirs (dirs) - 
if sequence (right) 
  - Do Anything 
else 
end if 

Does that actually work with the spaces like that?

No problem. A lot of stuff has changed, and debugging is always easier once you understand more context.

I do not understand. Where can I get the version Eu4.0.4?

Because with Win7 and Eu4.0.3, the result is -1

xx = dir ("c: \ \ Documents and Settings") 

I also affirm that, in my PC, there is nothing into this "folder" (is it a folder?) Currently,in my Win7, the users' folders are in the folder "c:\\users" rather than in "C:\\Documents and Settings", as it was in winxp.

It's available from the Mercurial repo (see SCM link at right under Misc Menu).

xx = dir ("c:\\Documents and Settings") 

If you get -1, you can safely assume that the path you've specified does not exist. If you get an unexpected result, confirm that 1) the path you specified is valid, or 2) the path exists.

So what does this give you:

?dir( "c:\\users" ) 
?dir( "c:\\Documents and Settings" )

?dir( "c:\\users") 
?dir( "c:\\Documents and Settings" ) 

?dir( "c:\\users") 
 

in this case, displays a list of items that exist in the folder

?dir( "c:\\Documents and Settings" ) 

display -1

Windows 7 (and I don't remember Vista) has this kind of softlinks ala Linux and IIRC they are called junctions. "Documents and settings" does not exists as it is, it's just a symlink to Users This is a console output from Windows 7.

C:\>dir "Documents and Settings" 
 Volume in drive C has no label. 
 Volume Serial Number is 88C7-590C 
 
 Directory of C:\Documents and Settings 
 
File Not Found 
 
C:\>cd "Documents and Settings" 
 
C:\Documents and Settings> 

Edit: You should use something like %USERPROFILE% if you're looking for the current OS user folder. Take a look here: http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/environment.htm for XP like OS
And here for 7: http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/environment-variables-windows-vista-7.htm

Edit2: You can still see it using /a

C:\Documents and Settings>cd .. 
 
C:\>dir

Yes, this is the bottom line .... Bill Gates is using "folders", "files" and now uses "junctions" and the latter will provide work for all of us ....
