Multiple file requestor

 [1/5] from: btiffin::rogers::com at: 22-Jun-2007 0:03


Hi, I've got a hack routine to gather a file list. The objective is to let a user build up a list of files over as many dirs as they want. ;; Request-files, allow a build up of files from multiple calls to request-dir, request-file ;; The UI for this code...BLOWS, double cancel to get out...it's a proof of concept. request-files: has [files file-list dir cwd] [ cwd: what-dir file-list: copy [] files: copy [] while [dir: request-dir] [ ; Cancel here for out change-dir dir while [files: request-file] [ ; Cancel here for back to dir select append file-list files ; Accumulate the files ] ] change-dir cwd unique file-list ; Not sure about use of /case here ] I can only assume (hope) someone has a better gui filename bagger? Any pointers? I've looked about a little and came up short. So I thought I'd ask before building this. Cheers, Brian ~~~~

Hi Brian, No need for request-dir, as I see it. Use /keep to remember the last navigated path in between requestor selections. Unique/case is necessary for case-sensitive filesystems like linux, but not necessary for case-insensitive filesystems like FAT/NTFS. I recommend supporting case-sensitive in order to be cross-platform. How about this: request-files: has [files result][ result: copy [] while [files: request-file/keep][ append result files ] unique/case result ] Regards, Anton.

Sorry if this is a repeat, the copy I got back was mungled...? Brian =2D--------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: [REBOL] Re: Multiple file requestor Date: Friday 22 June 2007 15:44 =46rom: Brian Tiffin <btiffin-rogers.com> To: rebolist-rebol.com Thanks Anton, Thats a little cleaner. :) Still needs work, as request-file lets you select a file that doesn't actually exist. That's partly why I was concerned about the /case on unique, but it's better to leave the /case in, and just remove any files from the list that don't exist. Or do the real work and create a file selector... Cheers, Brian On Friday 22 June 2007 04:54, Anton Rolls wrote:

Remove non-existant files from the result. remove-each file unique/case result [not exists? file] Anton.
