Sorry I've been sort of sick the last two days, so my posts are not the
most clear headed(more congested actually)
We have a minimal xml format for describing directory structures, I was
trying to see if I could build up this format via Rebol.
The format would be
<folder>
<file/>
<file/>
<folder>
<file/>
<file/>
</folder>
</folder>
given a directory structure of
Folder
File
File
Folder
File
File
however trying to work with Recursive-Read(haven't tried that new
version yet)
I get
<folder>
<file/>
<file/>
</folder>
<folder>
<file/>
<file/>
</folder>
now it's not too important of a thing because I can get the path of
directory I'm in so I end up with
<folder path=ftp://some.site.com/T1/>
<file path="ftp://some.site.com/T1/enIdea.xml"/>
....
and so forth
which means I can easily post-process with xslt and put subfolders
underneath proper parent folders, but this would be in the class of an
ugly hack, an admission of not knowing Rebol well enough yet. Of course
I don't know Rebol well enough yet, and I am not averse to making ugly
hacks to get something done, but as this is just my own testing the
language I figure it would be better to find the solution rather than
ugly-hack it. :)
But anyway I'm gonna go look through some of the other Recursive
functions for directories, like your new version and the stuff from
Christopher Ross-Gill and see if I can come to some understanding of how
I should do it.
Thanks.
