Thanks for the confirmation Tom. I did see two places in my code
that I have to set the default folder, so I just reset it when I am
done. Same thing, getting list of files. There may have been some
discussion in the past about a files command where the path could be
passed, but that's not close to any priority.
Hi Bob. Since 8.1 the files command allows the directory to be
provided, e.g.
put files("..") into temp
put files("/user/alex", "detailed") into temp
etc. Also works for folders()
Alex.
Just a reminder that the files(<path>,"detailed") (i.e. the detailed
files) and the detailed folders are NOT Unicode aware. If you have any
Unicode characters in path or the file names, they will be returned as
URLEncoded question marks making matching a specific name in the
returned data difficult.
