    Hello,

    i would like to get a list of all files in a specific folder.

    Something like:

    Code
    ROUTINE Get_Files(folder: STRING): ARRAY OF STRING
    VAR
           all_files  : ARRAY[50] OF STRING[50]
    BEGIN
           --get the first 50 files of the folder(parameter of this function)
           --write list to all_files
    RETURN (all_files)  
    END Get_Files

    I need this because i want to delete/recreate some folders. But the content of the folders is unknown. Maybe there are some files. Maybe not.

    I use

    Code
    KCL('RMDIR fr:\data\d1',STATUS) 
    KCL('RMDIR fr:\data\d2',STATUS)
    KCL('RMDIR fr:\data\d3',STATUS)


    to delete the folders.

    Thank you very much :smiling_face:

    The FILE_LIST routine is what you are looking for :

    Quote


    FILE_LIST Built-In Procedure
    Purpose: Generates a list of files with the specified name and type on the specified device.
    Syntax: FILE_LIST(file_spec, n_skip, format, ary_nam, n_files, status)
    Input/Output Parameters :
    [in] file_spec :STRING
    [in] n_skip :INTEGER
    [in] format :INTEGER
    [out] ary_nam :ARRAY of STRING
    [out] n_files :INTEGER
    [out] status :INTEGER
    %ENVIRONMENT Group :BYNAM
    Details:
    • file_spec specifies the device, name, and type of the list of files to be found. file_spec can be
    specified using the wildcard (*) character.
    • n_skip is used when more files exist than the declared length of ary_nam . Set n_skip to 0 the
    first time you use FILE_LIST. If ary_nam is completely filled with variable names, copy the
    array to another ARRAY of STRINGs and execute the FILE_LIST again with n_skip equal to
    n_files . The second call to FILE_LIST will skip the files found in the first pass and only locate
    the remaining files.
    • format specifies the format of the file name and file type. The following values are valid
    for format :
    1 file_name only, no blanks 2 file_type only, no blanks3 file_name.file_type , no blanks4
    filename.ext size date time The total length is 40 characters.
    Thefile_name starts with character 1.
    Thefile_type (extension) starts with character 10.
    Thesize starts with character 21.
    Thedate starts with character 26.
    Thetime starts with character 36.
    Date and time are only returned if the device supports time stamping; otherwise just the
    filename.ext size is stored.
    • ary_nam is an ARRAY of STRINGs to store the file names. If the string length of ary_nam is not
    large enough to store the formatted information, an error will be returned.
    • n_files is the number of files stored in ary_name .
    • status explains the status of the attempted operation. If not equal to 0, then an error occurred.
