Does anyone know of a method to list a PC's directory contents from a
Pick program? I have looked at all of the Wintegrate host routines and
I do not see anything that will work. We run jBase on op of Redhat
Linux.

Thanks

I havent played with jbase in awhile but perhaps you can shell out and do
something like the following (windows/dos version below)

PERFORM 'DIR /B/A-D-S-H ':PATH:' > DIR_LIST.TXT'

and then read DIR_LIST.TXT

in jBase just execute the requitre operating system command..


eg EXECUTE CHAR(255):'sls -la /usr/mydirectory'

The char(255):'s makes it use the normal unix shell to run the command
rather than jBases jShell.

You can go further.. You could capture the result for further processing.

Or you could create a jBase select list by code such as the following:

OPEN '/usr/mydir' TO MyDir ELSE STOP 201,'/usr/mydir'
SELECT MyDir TO MyDirList
LOOP WHILE READNEXT FileName FROM MyDirList DO
..... insert code here.
REPEAT

Hope this gives some pointers

BTW, you should have really posted this in the jBASE Goggle list:

Hi Bryan,

Take a look at the wIntegrate script: wIntegrate/Example/Script/dirlist.wis
The script comments say: * Script to write list of files and directories to
text file

This may do the trick for you.

wIntegrate has a function that I call from Universe that will list the
files within a directory. Look at the "Host Subroutines Reference"
manual for the function WIN.PCLIST.
