1. question on func get_file_info
Is there a better/simplier/faster solution for this?
include file.e
function get_file_info(sequence x)
object dx
dx=dir(x)
if length(dx)=1 then
return dx[1]
end if
return 0
end function
Does anybody use similar routine(s) regularly?
Is it worth to propose it for a standard include file?
Thanks,
Salix

You'll get an error here if directory x doesn't exist because x will be a
atom and you can't get the length of an atom.

You are right.
Is there any other way to collect this information?
I mean without calling file.e and dir()?

Hello Salix,
I use similar routines with dates. What I would do is create a new include
file called my_file.e. Put in get_dir_name(object dir),get_dir_size(object
dir)and get_dir_attributes(object dir) etc... Put in an error trap that says
"Directry not found". No I don't think this should go into a standard routine.
