Jim, I believe the file type is (still) 255 for a directory. I'm just about to go off on Holiday, so I'm shutting down now, but nip over to Dilwyn's Web site and download my WinBack source code - it has a SuperBasic directory recursion routine which you should be able to convert.
On the other hand, if I remember correctly, I believe that there is a read_dir function in the C68 library docs - try that - I think it returns a struct which is the directory entry for that file/directory. From that you'll be able to recurse as required. As for assembly ............ :o) HTH regards, Norman. ------------------------------------- Norman Dunbar Database/Unix administrator Lynx Financial Systems Ltd. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0113 289 6265 Fax: 0113 289 3146 URL: http://www.Lynx-FS.com ------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: James Hunkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 12:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ql-users] 'c' Help - reading directories Guys, I need to be able to search a drive directory for a specific file using 'C' code. Is there somewhere that I can find either a piece of sample code ('C' or assembly) for reading file names (or traversing directories) from a directory/device? Or perhaps just general documentation on SMSQ/E directories and file names that would lead me to the method to do so?
