Here is a version that puts the trailing "/" on folders and adjusts the input parameters for the function.

Brigham pmb...@gmail.com http://home.comcast.net/~pmbrig -------------- function directoryListing pWhatFolder, pInvisibleFiles, pDepth -- returns a full listing of the files/folders in a given folder -- pass pInvisibleFiles = true if you want to list invisible files -- if false or no value passed, then will list only visible files -- pDepth is the maximum depth you want to penetrate to -- if no value passed, then will list all files at all depths if pInvisibleFiles = empty then put false into pInvisibleFiles if pDepth = empty then put 0 into pDepth if char -1 of pWhatFolder <> "/" then put "/" after pWhatFolder put pWhatFolder & cr into R set the directory to pWhatFolder if pDepth = 1 or the result is not empty then return R put the files into tFileList sort tFileList replace cr with cr & pWhatFolder in tFileList put pWhatFolder & tFileList & cr after R put line 2 to -1 of the folders into tDirList sort tDirList repeat for each line L in tDirList put directoryListing((pWhatFolder & L),pInvisibleFiles,pDepth-1) after R end repeat if not pInvisibleFiles then filter R without "*/.*" end if return R end directoryListing On Oct 29, 2015, at 8:49 AM, Geoff Canyon wrote: > "there is a folder" and "there is a file" can distinguish between the two. > Obviously if you want to distinguish visually for the user, or to do it > without testing, then including the trailing "/" would work. > > On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 1:51 PM, Michael Doub <miked...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> When I saw that the output contained both directories and files, adding >> the "/" allows you to >> easily know that you are looking at a folder rather than a file. >> >> put directoryListing(whatfolder) into foo >> repeat for each line x of foo >> if char -1 of x = "/" then >> put x & cr after directoryList >> else >> put x & cr after fileList >> end if >> >> Given a random path that could be either a directory or a file, is there a >> clever way to tell what you have? >> >> -= Mike >> >> >> On 10/28/15 10:55 AM, Geoff Canyon wrote: >> >>> The trailing "/" is an interesting point.
