jguinch Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) In a folder with some files that have no extension (for example the hosts file in C:\Windows\System32\driversetc), FileListToArrayRec does not return the same thing than _FileListToArray if I use *.* as filter : _FileListToArray("C:\Windows\System32\driversetc", "*") : returns all files _FileListToArray("C:\Windows\System32\driversetc", "*.*") : returns all files _FileListToArrayRec("C:\Windows\System32\driversetc", "*") : returns all files _FileListToArrayRec("C:\Windows\System32\driversetc", "*.*") : returns only files with extensions It seems logic that FileListToArrayRec and FileListToArray should have the same behaviour with the same filter, no ? It's not important at all for me, but maybe developers will want to ensure that these two functions react in the same way... Edit : sorry if this post is not in the good section. Please move it if needed.

BrewManNH Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 You know, we have a bug tracker for these types of issues? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day. Teach a programmer to debug and he can do his work for a lifetime - by Chirag GudeHow to ask questions the smart way! I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

jguinch Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 Yes BrewManNH, I know... I was not sure it was an issue. Maybe it is the desired behaviour... I just created a ticked in the bug tracker... Spoiler Network configuration UDF, _DirGetSizeByExtension, _UninstallList Firefox ConfigurationArray multi-dimensions, Printer Management UDF
Moderators Solution Melba23 Posted November 20, 2014 Moderators Solution Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) jguinch,This has been discussed before and is the result of _FileListToArray passing the filter directly to Windows to search for the files while _FileListToArrayRec looks through all files and uses a RegEx to extract those that match the filter. Hence the discrepancy when the filter for the latter function holds a "." - the Regex will only match a name which includes a "." while Windows is far less fussy. As explained in the linked thread, we see this as a Windows "feature/bug" rather then an AutoIt problem - and we certainly have no intention of changing the behaviour of either function. I added some remarks to the Help file explaining the difference between the 2 functions - did you read them? I will be closing the bug report - please use this thread if you wish to discuss it further.

jguinch Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 Thanks Melba for these informations. I did not find this topic you linked before now, sorry. I dead read the help page, but didn't understand about the difference So no problem for me, good answer.
