CFindFiles:GetPath

The GetPath method returns the filename obtained by the Next method. This method simply accesses the string saved by the last call to Next.

Syntax

sFileName = CFindFiles:GetPath()

sFileName is the full path spec from the last call to Next.

Remarks

This method simply accesses the static string where the file name was stored by the last call to Next. It is useful in iterating through a folder, as shown in the example below.

Example

The following script lists files inside the folder specified by the string sFolder and the filename template "h*.fts". Notice that F:Next() returns nil and terminates the loop before F:GetPath() is called after the last file has been processed.

F = new_findfiles()	-- Create a new CFindFiles object
F:Open( sFolder, "h*.fts" )	-- specify thefolder and template
while F:Next() do	-- Iterate to the next file
Printf("%s\r\n", F:GetPath() )	-- list the current path name
end
F:Close()	-- finished with this object
