Hi all, A very useful cross-platform function is access (_access on Windows). It's awkward to fake its operation using the standard lfs functions. Any reason why it should not be included?
Another idea that can be usefully borrowed from lua-ex is something like 'for dirent in lfs.dirent '.' do ... end'. Windows _findfirst/_findnext returns a bunch of useful information, and it is inefficient to then have to do a lfs.attributes() on the returned path; this iterator can be easily implemented on Unix as well. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kda16keh(VS.71).aspx Yes, I know, they are exposed in lua-ex but it would be cool if lfs exposes them as well. steve d, _______________________________________________ Kepler-Project mailing list Kepler-Project@lists.luaforge.net http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kepler-project http://www.keplerproject.org/
