Re: SET DEFAULT or ?

2019-08-13 Thread Johan Nel 

Gene,

Again, I am not a VFP developer, but my understanding from the 
Clipper/VO/X# XBase fork:


SET DEFAULT change the path where when not specifying a path, will 
determine where it will first look at trying to find the file.  The 
default is the Executing directory.


SET PATH is used as alternative places to look when not found in the 
DEFAULT folder.  There are certain file open commands that does not 
adhere to this which I cannot set my hands on now since it is stated in 
the Clipper/VO/X# help to be documented in the specific 
commands/functions help description.


HTH,

Johan

Re: [NF] Search String

2019-08-13 Thread Alan Bourke 
The best drive search tools are those that search the MFT (Master File Table) 
on NTFS volumes rather than iterating through the file system itself. It's like 
the difference between finding records in a DBF using the index as opposed to 
scanning each record individually. 

Two free examples are Wizfile and Ultrasearch.

As an example Wizfile can rescan my 500GB SSD hard drive in about 5 seconds and 
can return search results almost instantly.

Re: [NF] Search String

2019-08-13 Thread Johan Nel 

The easiest would probably be to fire a DIR command from your application:

DIR SpecificDir\*.* /ON > specdir.txt // Order by Name
DIR OtherDir\*.* /ON > otherdir.txt

Then read the TXT files and compare the filenames after extracting it 
from lines.


Since I am not a VFP but a Clipper/VO/X# developer hopefully this will 
give you an idea how to do it using the VFP language syntax in X#.


LOCAL aSpecDirFiles, aOtherDirFiles AS STRING[]
LOCAL aMissing = ArrayNew() AS ARRAY
aSpecDirFiles = FileToStr("specdir.txt").Split(CR_LF)
aOtherDirFiles = FileToStr("otherdir.txt").Split(CR_LF)
LOCAL nPos = 1 AS INT
FOREACH line AS STRING IN aSpecDirFiles
  SpecFile = SubStr(line, , )
  OtherFile = SubStr(aOtherDirFiles[nPos], , )
  DO WHILE OtherFile < SpecFile
    AAdd(aMissing, OtherFile)
    nPos = nPos + 1
    OtherFile = SubStr(aOtherDirFiles[nPos], , )
  ENDDO
  IF OtherFile = SpecFile && We have a match
    nPos = nPos + 1
  ENDIF
NEXT
FOR i = nPos UPTO  aOtherFiles.Length
  AAdd(aMissing, SubStr(aOtherDirFiles[i], , ))
NEXT

Hope this helps.

Re: [NF] Search String

2019-08-13 Thread Gérard LOCHON 

A directory based file structure is a tree structure.
There is no implied way to unfold a tree structure without recurse.
And recurse is not a one-level action.
So it cannot exist a file skeleton, acting on a solely level, to impact 
other levels.
