loadSubFolders(str, int);
 

I would like to request this EXTREMELY useful function. As of now, I can load a folder's content with loadFolder(str, int); - but that's it. If I have a lot of dynamically created folders (which I do) as subfolders to a folder, there is no way I can find them out at the moment - without resorting to saving the name of each created folder in an array (heaven forbid).

This function would only list the name of the subfolders to the folder sent as parameter.

Example:

Would (on Mythic anyways) echo:



So pwetty pwease, can this be added? :cry:

*begs*

Can't you just do loadfolder([str]startfolder,[bool]recursive) and make recursive true? Recursive should grab every single file starting from start folder then all subfolders until it gets everything.

Didn't work when I tried it, so I doubt it.

Started at twinny/test/ and managed to grab all the files in the subfolders :). Just had to make sure NPC-Server had for twinny/test/* and twinny/test/*/*

Hmph, I see. It didn't work when I did:

But this solved that issue:

However, I reckon this could still prove a useful function to list what folders there are. No? :)

Loading the files in subfolders works flawlessly for my by setting the second parameter to true.

Did you even bother to read my post above your post? >_<

Yes. I'm saying that I don't need to use the second /* like you have to.

Were you trying it with a file extension? Because, it's when you do that you need that extra /*.

No ;o

I've just always run my own check (file.ends( ".txt" ))

Silly. :p

Folders don't end in .ini so why would they show up?

DAMNIT, people need to learn how to read. -_-


Will load all .nw files from levels folder.


Will load all .nw files from levels folder, and direct subfolders (not indirect ones though).


Will load all files from levels folder.


Will load all files from levels folder and all subfolders.

Exactly. Again, why would a folder end in .ini? It makes perfect sense why it doesn't work when you end your wildcard with an extension.

Its a simple concept, loadfolder() will only include filenames that fit the wildcard. So obviously if you do loadfolder("levels/*.nw", 0); its only gonna include nw files in the array, there is no need to use variable.ends() to check extension unless you're dealing with more than one or something. If dealing with more than one it would probably be easier to use more than one loadfolder with different extensions.

Zero I don't think you understand how the function is working.

Arigato for the backup. :)

Using Japanese like that triples your cuteness factor.

I understand it perfectly. I'm just explaining why it's not working for him, that's all.

From the way you explained it, you don't understand it. And it is working for me, I have two posts saying it does.

...

Honestly, did you even read what I said? I know it is working for you. I was explaining why your first method was not working for you. I have perfect understanding of loadfolder() and am not arguing how it should and shouldn't work. I was simply pointing out the flaws in your original post as to why it wouldn't work for you.

Honestly, why? Issue was "solved", and I still request the feature as I find it quite useful for other things. No need to point out things after they've been solved, man.

using loadfolder correctly gives the same result

loadfolder() can also give you 20,000 results when you only have 4 subfolders. :D

oh..
