Hello,
I'm writing a function to find out if a given directory is empty. I came up
with the obvious:
do{
contents <- getDirectoryContents "/home/timothy/works/current/anonGraph/
empty/" ;
let
realContents
=
filter
(\file ->
case file of
"." -> False ;
".." -> False ;
_ -> True)
contents
in
return $
case realContents of
[] -> True ;
_ -> False}
And this works fine on linux, but I wonder. On other systems, is "." and ".
." allowed as file names? Couldn't a windows user actually end up with a
file name named "." and this method would fail?
Thank you
Timothy
