List files

By dataprofile on Sep 12, 2007

Lists files in a specified directory in a new @window.

Usage:

/dirlist_ (directory) list (txtfiles,inifiles,(or enter a type of file using the format: .dat [as an example].))

alias dirlist_ { 
  var %x = $1
  if ($2 iswm list) { 
    if (!$window(@files)) { window -lk @files }
    if ($3 iswm txtfiles) { 
      var %c = $findfile(%x,*.txt,0,aline -p @files $1-) 
      return %c 
    } 
    if ($3 iswm inifiles) { 
      var %c = $findfile(%x,*.ini,0,aline -p @files $1-) 
      return %c 
    }
    else { 
      var %c = $findfile(%x,$+(*.,$3),0,aline -p @files $1-) 
      return %c 
    }
  }
}
menu @files { 
  dclick:run $gettok($sline($active, 1),1-,32)
}

Thanks simplicity I\'ll add the option.

Effective and clean. On the contrary, it\'s pretty simple. I recommend adding the option to delete the file. /remove should do the trick. I probably would give this a 5/10 if I had the option to rate snippets.

Alrighty, I edited the snippet.I just decided to make it a file list. Thank you xDaeMoN and kerstt for your feedback.

Also, there is $isfile and $exists.

Yes it does. On the contrary, this snippet returns the file in a specified directory. That covers if the directory is true. As said in the intro, this is a more advanced version of $findfile.

$isdir(dirname)

Returns $true if the specified directory exists, otherwise $false.
