I'm having some problem when, parsing nested folders in win32 environment, the
loop encounters a shortcut referring to a folder that does not exist anymore.
Meantime, I noticed that even if the icon of such shortcut is that of a folder,
the shortcut itself is a file with the extension .lnk
No use to say something like: if f.item(i) <> nil and f.item(i).exists then
doSomething; because f.item(i) will go through the loop and generate the
following system-message:
"The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'foo.lnk' refers to is
anavailable. Make sure etc etc."
The workaround that at present works for me is to do this:
for i = 1 to f.count
if f.item(i).directory then
//do recursion
else
f = f.item(i)
//I even tried adding: f = f.parent.child(f.name) but it is an unecessary
step
//do something with f
end if
next
So here is my question: is there a simpler way to block a dead shortcut?
(Sorry, but I'm not a windows man).
Thanks,
