I was wondering if anybody has made/come up with a solution for Recursive directory search in MMBASIC for the Colour Maximite. I have attempted programming one but it doesn't output all of the files in the drive, just the first couple of files. This is my attempt at one: Do 'Go to root of drive If Cwd$ <> "B:\" Then Chdir ".." Loop Until Cwd$ = "B:\" Dim DirVisited$(120) 'Define Directories Visited '''''''''''''''''' 'Count Files On B: '''''''''''''''''' Print CLR$(2) Cwd$, CLR$(5) Directory$ Directory$ = Dir$("*.*", DIR) 1 Do Count = Count+1 'Assign a number to a directory If Directory$ <> "" Then 'If no sub directories then If Directory$ = "." Then Directory$ = Dir$() 'Skip this If Directory$ = ".." Then Directory$ = Dir$() 'and this For Num = 1 To 120 If Directory$ = DirVisited$(Num) Then Directory$ = Dir$() Next Chdir Directory$ 'Change Print CLR$(2) Cwd$, CLR$(5) Directory$ DirVisited$(Count) = Directory$ Else Chdir ".." EndIf Directory$ = Dir$() Loop Until Cwd$ = "B:\" And Directory$ = "" And this is it's Output (all directories in root sadly): B:\ B:\PROGRAMS PROGRAMS B:\RECOVERY RECOVERY B:\SETTINGS SETTINGS B:\USER USER B:\WINDOWS WINDOWS I would be very very happy, I have been trying at this one since around June. |

Maybe someone already posted something? I'm not quite sure what your plan for Cwd$ was but it looks not to have happened. If you want to do a recursive listing I suggest recursive code because unrolling via a loop is faster but tougher to code (can be much tougher). John |

My solution (not for a recursive search, sorry!). (See sub ReadDir) regards Michael ‚My name is Ozymandias, king of kings Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!‘ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and ... |
