Hi,

The 'List filelist' command has a big problem with attributes!

The following:
Code:
List create,1
List filelist,1,c:\,*

Will list all directories and subdirectories, BUT the hidden/system ones.. Confused

Modified like this:
Code:
List create,1
List filelist,1,c:\,*SH

Will list directories along with EVERY hidden/system entries, including files!

I've been making/maintaining a backup program for a while, and stumbled into this problem which I can't really patch. As soon as you specify more flags than 'D' or '*', files become involved...

I've been using a tweak to remove files from my list.
Using ',*SH' to fill a list then testing each entry to see if it's a file.
Code:

rem -/- short part of by software.  Close to self-explaining!
        List Filelist,2,%%FromPath,*SH
        Repeat
          If @File(@Item(2),SHZ)
            LIST Delete,2
          Else
            %%Zozo = @Next(2)
          End
        Until @Null(@Item(2))

I just discovered the second option of @item(x,y) while roaming through the forum, so I'll certainly be optimizing my softwares... I'm always using @next() or LIST Seek to move in a list, instead of pointing the item I want...

We learn everyday!

Cheers! Smile
