FileListToArray: Sort by type alphabetically


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Im currently writing a script, which will delete all files and subdirectories withing a root folder (e.g. D:\). The script itself is working fine, but i somehow want to sort the file list im getting from the _FileListToArrayFunction to be by type alphabetically.

 

Let me get you an example:

 

D:\Folder1

D:\Folder2

D:\Folder3

D:\File1

D:\File2

D:\File3

 

The above example is how i want it, but the _FileListToArray returns the file list sorted just alphabetically (by name) i think

 

A good example is when you are browsing the System32 folder in Windows.

 

Then you first get Folder shown from A-Z then the files from A-Z

 

How can this be done?

Any help is appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance

Have you tried using the _ArraySort function?

Apologies @doestergaard, but it's my pleasure. 

Another suggestion is using _FileListToArrayRec.

If you're deleting the files, why do you need the list sorted?

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.

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.

Or you could mimic what every c standard library qsort has done for decades.  Pass in a pointer to a custom comparison function.  I use a string as that's how it is done in .au3
