fDir (Function) In french: fRep Finds a file or directory. This search can be performed with wildcard characters (*,?). Remarks:
Syntax
<Result> = fDir(<Name of sought file or directory> [, <Options>])
<Result>: Character string - Name of file (with its extension) or directory found.
- Empty string ("") otherwise. To determine if this function has generated an error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.
<Name of sought file or directory>: Character string Name and full (or relative) path of the sought file or directory (up to 260 characters). A UNC path can be used. You have the ability to use wildcard characters (*,?) in the name of the file.
If this parameter is empty, the function continues and searches for the name of the next corresponding file (or directory): this allows you to list the files or directories belonging to a given directory.
If this parameter corresponds to a directory name, this name may (or may not) end with "\". <Options>: Optional Integer constant (or combination of constants) Search options: | | | fPathUNICODE | <Result> will be a Unicode string.
This constant can be combined with frFile or frDirectory. | | frDirectory | Find a directory. | frFile
(Default value) | Find a file. |
Remarks Caution: fDir keeps access to the directory Calling fDir keeps an access to the directory, and prevents you from deleting or renaming it. To unlock the directory, add the following line of code to your process: Looping through directories Directory iterations performed with fDir must not be nested. fDir must not be used when fCopyFile is used to a loop through directories. In Windows, a file name or a directory name can contain lowercase and/or uppercase characters (the names of the files are not "case sensitive"). Therefore, you should not write:
IF fDir(FileName) = "TOTO" THEN Info("File found")
But you should write:
IF fDir(FileName) ~= "TOTO" THEN Info("File found")
It is not recommended to use fDir at the same time in two different threads. The last iteration started with fDir automatically replaces the current iteration.
