Directory Recursion?


Recommended Posts

How would I recurse through the @TempDir returning only the directory found... like $search=FileFindFirstFile("filename.ext") and FileFindNextFile ($search)

I want to make a progressbar for emptying the Temp directory

EDIT: had a brain-fart, forgot about the little button called Search..

Hmm... It looks like I will need help after all..

I got this code from a post:

#include <file.au3>

Global $logfile = @ScriptDir & "\log.txt"

_FileWriteLog($logfile,"Log Opened")
SearchDir()
_FileWriteLog($logfile,"Log Closed")
exit

Func SearchDir($dir = ".")
    local $file, $search

    $search = FileFindFirstFile($dir & "\*.*")  
    if $search = -1 then return
    
    while 1
        $file   = FileFindNextFile($search) 
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        if $file <> "." and $file <> ".." Then
            if IsDirectory($file) Then
                SearchDir($dir & "\" & $file)
            Else
                RenameAndLog("ABC","XYZ",$dir,$file)
            Endif
        Endif
    WEnd
    FileClose($search)
EndFunc

Func RenameAndLog($old,$new,$dir,$file)
    local $newfile = $file, $ret

    $newfile = StringReplace($file,$old,$new,0,1)
    if $newfile <> $file Then
        if FileMove($dir & "\" & $file,$dir & "\" & $newfile) then
            _FileWriteLog($logfile,$dir & "\" & $file & " Renamed to " & $dir & "\" & $newfile)
        Else
            _FileWriteLog($logfile,"Failed to rename " & $dir & "\" & $file)
        Endif
    Endif
EndFunc

Func IsDirectory($file)
    if DirGetSize($file,2) = -1 Then return 0
    return 1
EndFunc

And it seems that there is no IsDirectory($Directory) function.

which means that I am back to the drawing board

Don't understand.... last Func in your posted script is called IsDirectory() .. right ???

hint:

Returns the size of a file in bytes.

FileGetSize ( "filename" )

DirGetSize

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Returns the size in bytes of a given directory.

this is a UDF User Defined Funtion.

works the same as a built in one pretty much.

Func IsDirectory($file)
    if DirGetSize($file,2) = -1 Then return 0
    return 1
EndFunc

You can use DOS's built-in recursion:

;let's build an array of subfolders
    $aFolder = _GetFileList("C:\TEMP", "/AD")
   ;msgBox(0,"Number of folders",$aFolder[0])

Func _GetFileList($psFolder, $psSwitch)
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;$psSwitch can be the following kinds of things:
;   /AD     list folders only
;   /A-D       list files only
;   /S /AD   list all folders and subfolders recursively
;   /A-D /OE   list only files, and group them by extension
;
; <<< parameters to the DIR command >>>
;
;   /A        Displays files with specified attributes.
;   attributes   D  Directories             R  Read-only files
;                H  Hidden files               A  Files ready for archiving
;                S  System files               -  Prefix meaning not
;   /O        List by files in sorted order.
;   sortorder   N  By name (alphabetic)    S  By size (smallest first)
;                E  By extension (alphabetic)  D  By date & time (earliest first)
;                G  Group directories first -  Prefix to reverse order
;   /T        Controls which time field displayed or used for sorting
;   timefield   C  Creation
;               A  Last Access
;               W  Last Written
;   /S        Displays files in specified directory and all subdirectories.
;   /X        This displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file
;               names.  The format is that of /N with the short name inserted
;               before the long name. If no short name is present, blanks are
;               displayed in its place.
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            
   ;decide on a temp file
    $sTmp = @TempDir & "\~getlist.lst"
    
   ;Reroute a DIR command to the temp file
    RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c DIR /B " & $psSwitch & " """ & $psFolder & """>""" & $sTmp & """", "", @SW_HIDE)
    
   ;Read the textfile into an array
    $sFileList = FileRead($sTmp, FileGetSize($sTmp))
    
   ;Cleanup
    FileDelete($sTmp)

   ;And leave
    Return StringSplit(StringReplace($sFileList, @CRLF, @LF),@LF)

EndFunc
