I Need Desprate help with directories

[Antsabee]

I have a Problem Turing 3.1.1A
how do you set directories?, everytime
I try I either crash the program or
my computer can someone show
me a quick snipit of what opening a
directory should look like or give me
some tips on how it works???

[do_pete]

code:

var streamNumber : int var directory : string put "Enter directory: " .. get directory :* streamNumber := Dir.Open (directory) loop         var fileName : string         Dir.Get (streamNumber, fileName)         exit when fileName = ""         put fileName end loop

This should work

[do_pete]

Dammit I forgot this:

Dir.Close (streamNumber)

stick it at the end

[Mr. T]

Still doesn't work. Says Dir.Get can't have parameters.

[do_pete]

Oh that's right, sorry I got mixed up between Dir.Get and Dir.GetLong and I diddn't have turing at that moment. You should go like this:

code:

var streamNumber : int var directory : string put "Enter directory: " .. get directory : * streamNumber := Dir.Open (directory) loop     var fileName : string     fileName := Dir.Get (streamNumber)     exit when fileName = ""     put fileName end loop Dir.Close (streamNumber)

[Antsabee]
