Hi Dave,
Well, since I passed revDeleteFolder a single "/" and it tried to
delete (w/out being able to be interrupted) the *entire* hard
disk, I would say it's less dangerous to 'roll your own'. I would
expect revDeleteFolder to take as an argument a valid path,
including drive letter. For instance I would expect:
revDeleteFolder "C:/"
to delete the C drive. I don't know why just "/" does it and I'm
afraid to test it with a null, especially since it can't be
interrupted. Anything you roll on your own can be interrupted with
a control-period.
"/" works because "/" is a valid directory specifier for Rev. You
can do
set the defaultFolder to "/"
and it does; you don't need a drive specifier.
Come to think of it, you can do it in a Windows shell (or whatever
a DOS box is called these days) - "cd \" works.
Interesting, as
there is a folder "/"
returns false on XP and true on OS X. Which could prove an insidious
danger.
I think it would be good to have an optional parameter pConfirm
which would require a user confirmation for each directory (or
maybe even each file ?). That would make it much more "comfortable"
to develop and test an application without fear of inadvertently
passing a bad starting directory, and the parameter could be
reverted to (the default of) "off" before shipping.
Sounds good.
Cheers
Dave
