DIR_LIST ​

DIR_LIST returns a list of files and dirs in a directory.

Syntax ​

leo-grammar
CC "AdoScript" DIR_LIST path:strValue [ filemask:strValue ] .

#--> RESULT ecode:intValue files:strValue dirs:strValue

Parameters ​

  • path (strValue) - the directory to be listed
  • filemask (strValue, optional) - specifies a format like ".htm". If no filemask is specified '' would be taken.

Returns ​

  • ecode (intValue) - Contains the error code or 0 in case of success.
  • files (strValue) - Contains all the file names in the given directory, separated with '*'
  • dirs (strValue) - Contains all the directory names in the given directory, separated with '*'

Details ​

Relative paths relate to the current working directory (CWD).

All files and dirs are separated with a '**' because files may contain spaces.

The return variable ecode has the value 0 if no errors occurred, a value different than 0 if an error occurred.
