HoboBen	I've written this little directory file list in C so that I can stick it as ls.exe into /WINDOWS/system32/ and run "ls" in the command prompt instead of "dir". (Linux/Bash Terminal Habit) I like it, and it works well, except that the Directory Attribute Flag always appears to be set. This line: if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) {flag[1]="D";} --v Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong? Here's the full source (C language): (If anyone wants, they can download the compiled EXE - I used Dev-C++ to compile it) /* Last Update: 15th Nov 2007 (v0.1.0.1) Project Website: https://www.tophatstuff.co.uk/packages/misc/ls/ Platform: Windows Discription: A DIR-like function for windows to be placed into WINDOWS/system32/ so that Linux users are happier. Status: This code is hereby placed into Public Domain by the author. / #include <stdio.h> #include <windows.h> #define MAXFLAGS 6 int main(int argc, char argv[]) { /* Windows API Calls are so ugly... / WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData; HANDLE hFind; char path; char defaultpath = ".\\"; char append = "\\"; char flag[MAXFLAGS]; int i; / Set all Attribute Flags to OFF ("-") / for (i=0; i<MAXFLAGS; i++) { flag[i] = "-"; } printf("\n [CDEHRS] [Compressed Directory Encrypted Hidden Readonly System]\n"); if (argc>1) { path = argv[1]; path = strcat(path, append); } else { path = defaultpath; } hFind = FindFirstFile(path, &FindFileData); if (hFind == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { printf (" [ERROR!] Could Not Find Any Files\n", GetLastError()); return; } else { / I'm not really sure how I'd get FindFirstFile and FindNextFile filenames anaylised for attributes with the same function. Most examples that I've seen online have actually just cut 'n' pasted their code up here, which I instinctivly think is wrong. So this is just a placeholder for now, but I'd like to be able to anaylise the current directory (FirstFile is ".", i.e. Current Dir) So, I'll experiment! Got a few ideas... :-) / printf(" [*****] %s\n", FindFileData.cFileName); } while (FindNextFile(hFind, &FindFileData)) { if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_COMPRESSED) {flag[0]="C";} if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) {flag[1]="D";} if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ENCRYPTED) {flag[2]="E";} if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN) {flag[3]="H";} if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY) {flag[4]="R";} if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM) {flag[5]="S";} printf(" [%s%s%s%s%s%s] %s\n", flag[0],flag[1],flag[2],flag[3],flag[4],flag[5],FindFileData.cFileName); } FindClose(hFind); return 0; } --v \|edit\| I also made a version which works in colour ls-colour but the source is a little messy. \|edit\| -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

HoboBen	Oh, I think I got it! The flags aren't being set back to off afterwards, so once they're on, they stay on! D'oh! -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

HoboBen	Thanks for trying I think I'm done with it now. Mission accomplished! I might try and get filesizes done, but I was having trouble getting them read properly. I'll sleep on it For those who may be interested: v0.1.0.2 Colour ls Download v0.1.0.2 plain ls Download Screenie: \|edit\| Updated to Latest \|edit\| Hope someone finds it useful. It's saving me a lot of frustration already It also supports paths, e.g. ls ../../my/folder/another/folder/ will work fine. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

HoboBen	I've never got on well with C and strings Thank you for your new code. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

HoboBen	Yeay! Got filesizes sorted. All I needed was a night's sleep. Reckon I'm finished with it now. v0.1.1.1 Colour Might report weird sizes or something if you have a file bigger than 4GB. I don't have any that big, so I wouldn't know what happens for sure! \|edit\| Oh now it also supports spaces in file names, e.g: \|edit\| ls a folder/my silly folder/why did i put spaces in my filename --v -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code
