REBOL [ Title: "File globbing module and dialect" Date: 19-Oct-2006 Version: 0.0.2 File: %file-list.r Author: "Gregg Irwin" Email: %greggirwin--acm--org Purpose: { Given a file spec, and optional criteria for date, size, and attributes, the FILE-LIST function returns a block of files that match the spec and criteria. It is also a test-bed for how to integrate dialects with one-another. There are sub-dialects for date, size, and attribute tests, and FILE-LIST encapsulates those, along with the LIKE? dialect for pattern matching on file names. There are things I don't like about the approach, but we can learn from it if nothing else (and it does actually work, too :). You will see commented bits, possible refinements and various design decisions. Implementation is not the hard part. The hard part is designing something that works well, and intuitively (as in the principle of least surprise). There will undoubtedly also be cross-platform issues that need to be addressed. } History: [ 0.0.1 [15-Oct-2006 "Initial Release."
