EnumerateFolderDetails Function

Overview

The EnumerateFolderDetails function returns a table folder and file names with basic details about each entry using a specified path and wildcard mask. It can optionally recursively search folders.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string [][] = EnumerateFolderDetails ( string path, [dword flags] );

Parameters

path

A string containing a qualified path and optional wild card match. The path can contain a *.* or other matching wildcard pattern. If a wildcard is missing, the default is *.*.

flags

An optional dword specifying flags. If the parameter is omitted, the default is FOLDER_LOAD_NO_FOLDER_NAV.

	Defines			Bitwise		Description
	Append Flags:
		FOLDER_LOAD_RECURSE		0x00000001		Recurse into subdirectories
		FOLDER_LOAD_FOLDER_TO_BRACKETS		0x00000002		Add brackets to directory names
		FOLDER_LOAD_FOLDER_NAMES		0x00000004		Add folder names
		FOLDER_LOAD_RECENT_30		0x00000008		Load only past 30 days
		FOLDER_LOAD_NO_FOLDER_NAV		0x00000010		Skip the '.' and '..' entries
		FOLDER_LOAD_NO_HIDDEN		0x00000020		Do not load hidden files
		FOLDER_LOAD_NO_SYSTEM		0x00000040		Do not load system files
		FOLDER_LOAD_CASE_SENSITIVE		0x00000080		Match case-sensitive
		FOLDER_LOAD_MATCH_FOLDERS		0x00000100		Apply Mask to Folder Names
	Files:
		FOLDER_UTF_NAMES		0x00001000		Contain UTF coded name (Unicode)
	Operation:
		FOLDER_USE_PROGRESS		0x00100000		Use Legato's Progress Display

  

Return Value

Returns a string table of file and folder names, details and relative paths as appropriate or an empty array on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.

The return filename values will be UTF encoded for filenames with Unicode characters.

Remarks

Because an empty table could indicate both and error or the lack of any matching result, the GetLastError function should be used to determine if an error occurred. This function does not enumerate file names.

The table will contain the following column keys:

	Key Name		Description
	Name		Filename and path, relative to the function path parameter.
	AttributeBits		A hex string containing the 32-bit binary attribute bits. See GetFileAttributeString for additional information.
	Attributes		A formatted string containing entry attributes. See GetFileAttributeString for additional information.
	CreateTime		The creation time in ISO-8601 as UTC.
	CreateFileTime		A hex string containing the 64-bit file create time value. See GetFileCreateTime for additional information.
	AccessTime		The last access time in ISO-8601 as UTC.
	AccessFileTime		A hex string containing the 64-bit file access time value.
	ModifiedTime		The last write time in ISO-8601 as UTC.
	ModifiedFileTime		A hex string containing the 64-bit file write time value. See GetFileModifiedTime for additional information.
	Size		The file size in formatted binary unit types. See IntegerToBinaryUnits for additional information.
	Bytes		A decimal string of the 64-bit byte value.

 

Note that when recursion is enabled, the function can consume a fair amount of time loading the table and the resulting table can be rather large. For example, enumerating the windows directory and all its folders can take more than a minute.
