Syntax

Listing the data files of an analysis Hide the details

<Result> = HListFile([<Path of the WDD file> [, <Password of the WDD file>]] [, <Options>])

<Result>: Character string

List of data files found in the current analysis or in the specified analysis.
New in version 2024
Projects with multiple analyses: If several analyses are in progress, all files from all analyses in progress are listed (without duplicates)..
The descriptions of each analysis are separated by a CR character (Carriage Return). The result is more or less detailed depending on the constant used:
hLstDetail is not specified <Name of data file 1> + CR + <Name of data file 2> + CR + ...
hLstDetail is specified <Name of data file 1> + TAB + <Abbreviation> + TAB + <Caption> + TAB + <Physical name> + CR + ...

Where:
<Name of data file X>: Logical name of the data file (used in programming).
<Abbreviation>: Abbreviation of data file.
<Caption>: Caption of data file.
<Physical name>: Physical name of data file (on disk). This name corresponds to the short file name, without extension or path.

<Path of the WDD file>: Optional character string

Remarks

HListFile function and the Native MySQL or MariaDB Connector

For the Native MySQL Connector, HListFile has evolved along with the versions:
- In version 15, HListFile returns the list of files in the current database.
- In version 16, to be able to use the new features of MySQL 5, if the Native Connector is connected to a MySQL 5 server (or later), HListFile returns the list of files from all accessible databases. In this case, the name of the file has the following format: "<Database name>.<File name>.
- Starting with version 170069, HListFile returns the list of files in the current database. HListDatabase lists the accessible databases and their files.
For the Native MariaDB Connector, HListFile returns the list of files from the current database. HListDatabase lists the accessible databases and their files.
