SP3 and File() Function
in [Visual Objects]
|
From: Roger Lawton on 6 Aug 2010 10:30 I am (finally) implementing VO 2.8 SP3 and I am having a problem with the File() function. In our app we would check for the existance of (any) files in a directory using something like the following: cPath := "C:\MYDIRECTORY\*.*" If File( cPath ) // do something Else // do something else Endif However, with the update to SP3 I have found that File(cPath) never returns true when using *.* as the "template". Is there somehing I am missing or is this the case? Thanks -- Roger Lawton Product Manager SOMAX, Inc.

Hi Roger, In my tests File() never worked correctly! With SP1 it returns allways true, with SP3 allways false (!?!?!?) Little workaround with Directory(): METHOD pbFile() CLASS dtaTest1 ? File("C:\CAVO28\EmptyDirectory\*.*") ? Directory( "C:\CAVO28\EmptyDirectory\*.*") ? ALen( Directory( "C:\CAVO28\EmptyDirectory\*.*") ) ? ? File("C:\CAVO28\NotEmptyDirectory\*.*") ? Directory( "C:\CAVO28\NotEmptyDirectory\*.*") ? ALen( Directory( "C:\CAVO28\NotEmptyDirectory\*.*") ) regards Urs "Roger Lawton" <nsproger(a)nspsomax.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:i3h8ir$jfg$1(a)speranza.aioe.org... > Karl: > > Thanks for the reply.
