SAVEFSEEK()
Saves the current FILESEEK environment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SAVEFSEEK() --> cFileSeekEnvironment
Returns
SAVESEEK() returns the current FILESEEK() environment. The information
is needed for RESTFSEEK().
Description
The function saves the current FILESEEK() environment to a string. For
example, if the sequence "First Search - Continued Search" is
interrupted by branching into a subdirectory, you must save these files.
Note
. Be sure sufficient spare memory is available when working
recursively at a higher level of complexity (which depends on the
number of subdirectories). See Examples on the following page.
Example
The following small program shows all the files in all directories of
the current drive, from the root. The GetFiles procedure can be called
recursively:
DO GetFiles WITH "\" // Starts with root directory
RETURN
* ----------------------------------------
PROCEDURE GetFiles(cSearchPath)
PRIVATE cSeekEnv // Picks up SEEK environment
? // Empty line for new dir.
* All files, all attributes
cFile := FILESEEK(cSearchPath + "*.*", 63)
DO WHILE .NOT. EMPTY(cFile)
IF cFile <> "." // ".." and "." are dummys
IF ISBIT(FILEATTR(), 5) // Subdirectory?
cSeekEnv := SAVEFSEEK() // Save environment
* Recursive call with extended path!
DO GetFiles WITH cSearchPath + cFile + "\"
RESTFSEEK(cSeekEnv) // Restore environment
ELSE
? cSearchPath + cFile
ENDIF
ENDIF
cFile := FILESEEK() // Next file
ENDDO
RETURN
