Hi Sunanda,
this is the function i used last. It is a modification of a script i
found.
dir-tree: func [
current-path [file! url!] "directory to explore"
/inner
tree [block!] "useful to avoid stack overflow"
/depth "recursion depth, 1 for current level, -1 for infinite"
depth-arg [integer!]
/local
current-list
sub-tree
item
server
][
if all [not inner not block? tree] [tree: copy []]
depth-arg: either all [depth integer? depth-arg] [depth-arg - 1][-1]
current-list: read current-path
if all [not none? current-list] [
foreach item current-list [
if not find/any to-string item "*log*" [
if any [find/any to-string item ".cmd" find/any to-string item
"/"] [
if find/any to-string item ".cmd" [write/append
%/c/allcmds.txt join current-path/:item newline]
if all [dir? current-path/:item not-equal? depth-arg 0] [
sub-tree: copy []
dir-tree/inner/depth current-path/:item sub-tree
depth-arg
]
]
]
]
]
]
Perhaps you have some advice for me.
Thanks
Thorsten
