Example:
This program lists all the files and subdirectories in its
path argument.
import std.stdio;
import std.file;
void main(string[] args)
{
auto dirs = std.file.listdir(args[1]);
foreach (d; dirs)
writefln(d);
}
- invariant(char)[][] listdir(in string pathname, in string pattern);
invariant(char)[][] listdir(in string pathname, RegExp r);
- Return all the files in the directory and its subdirectories
that match pattern or regular expression r.
Params:
const(invariant(char)[]) pathname |
Directory name |
const(invariant(char)[]) pattern |
String with wildcards, such as "*.d". The supported
wildcard strings are described under fnmatch() in
std.path. |
r |
Regular expression, for more powerful pattern matching. |
Example:
This program lists all the files with a "d" extension in
the path passed as the first argument.
import std.stdio;
import std.file;
void main(string[] args)
{
auto d_source_files = std.file.listdir(args[1], "*.d");
foreach (d; d_source_files)
writefln(d);
}
A regular expression version that searches for all files with "d" or
"obj" extensions:
import std.stdio;
import std.file;
import std.regexp;
void main(string[] args)
{
auto d_source_files = std.file.listdir(args[1], RegExp(r"\.(d|obj)$"));
foreach (d; d_source_files)
writefln(d);
}
- void listdir(in string pathname, bool delegate(in const(invariant(char)[]) filename) callback);
- For each file and directory name in pathname[],
pass it to the callback delegate.
Note:
This function is being phased off. New code should use dirEntries (see below).
Params:
bool delegate(in const(invariant(char)[]) filename) callback |
Delegate that processes each
filename in turn. Returns true to
continue, false to stop. |
Example:
This program lists all the files in its
path argument, including the path.
import std.stdio;
import std.path;
import std.file;
void main(string[] args)
{
auto pathname = args[1];
string[] result;
bool listing(string filename)
{
result ~= std.path.join(pathname, filename);
return true; }
listdir(pathname, &listing);
foreach (name; result)
writefln("%s", name);
}
- void listdir(in string pathname, bool delegate(DirEntry* de) callback);
- For each file and directory DirEntry in pathname[],
pass it to the callback delegate.
Note:
This function is being phased off. New code should use dirEntries (see below).
Params:
bool delegate(DirEntry* de) callback |
Delegate that processes each
DirEntry in turn. Returns true to
continue, false to stop. |
Example:
This program lists all the files in its
path argument and all subdirectories thereof.
import std.stdio;
import std.file;
void main(string[] args)
{
bool callback(DirEntry* de)
{
if (de.isdir)
listdir(de.name, &callback);
else
writefln(de.name);
return true;
}
listdir(args[1], &callback);
}
- const(char)* toMBSz(in string s);
- Since Win 9x does not support the "W" API's, first convert
to wchar, then convert to multibyte using the current code
page.
(Thanks to yaneurao for this)
Deprecated:
use std.windows.charset.toMBSz instead.
- void copy(in string from, in string to);
- Copy a file from[] to[].
- enum SpanMode;
- Dictates directory spanning policy for dirEntries (see below).
- shallow
- Only spans one directory.
- depth
- Spans the directory depth-first, i.e. the content of any
subdirectory is spanned before that subdirectory itself. Useful
e.g. when recursively deleting files.
- breadth
- Spans the directory breadth-first, i.e. the content of any
subdirectory is spanned right after that subdirectory itself.
- DirIterator dirEntries(string path, SpanMode mode);
- Iterates a directory using foreach. The iteration variable can be
of type string if only the name is needed, or DirEntry if additional details are needed. The span mode dictates
the how the directory is traversed. The name of the directory entry
includes the path prefix.
Example:
foreach (string name; dirEntries("destroy/me", SpanMode.depth))
{
remove(name);
}
foreach (string name; dirEntries(".", SpanMode.breadth))
{
writeln(name);
}
foreach (DirEntry e; dirEntries("dmd-testing", SpanMode.breadth))
{
writeln(e.name, "\t", e.size);
}
