[REBOL] files out of order
From: ryan:christiansen:intellisol at: 29-Mar-2001 13:33
I have a directory of XML-formatted messages, each saved with a numeric
filename based on the time of creation, for example
/news/20010329105032.txt
/news/20010329105033.txt
/news/20010329105034.txt
I use the following function to read the directory and to create a block of
file names, with the intention of placing the newest files first in the
block (in other words, the files with the highest number first in the
block.)
read-directory-messages: func [
"Read a directory of XML-formatted standard messages with the directory
determined by messageType."
message-directory [block!] "A block of file names corresponding to a
directory of XML-formatted standard messages."
][
message-block: copy []
foreach file-name message-directory [
file-contents: read file-name
insert message-block file-contents
]
]
But using the above function, I get files showing up in the block out of
order. Am I doing something wrong?
