2. try assuming the directory is non-empty and if an exception occurs handle it, using catch, 3. write a file counter, using the filesystem search infrastructure, something like $tar-add-pattern in save-power-logs.fth in http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/quozl/save-power-logs.git/ 4. use collect( from the stringio package to redirect output to a string and check the string for overall length or number of lines, e.g. ok collect( " u:\*.zd" $dir )collect ( adr len ) nip . The word words can display all the defined words in use in the current vocabulary, but this won't show you words in other vocabularies, such as device instances or tools. show-devs can show you the the device names, and then dev can bring their vocabularies into currency. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
