get files and subfolders in a directory [resolved]

sturatt · Post by **sturatt** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 4:23 pm

Can anyone help me with going about listing all the files/folders in a directory? I've searched for about an hour.. maybe I'm not searching for the rigtht thing..

I would appreciate any help.

In case this isnt clear, i just want to be able to know what files and folders are in a certian directory.

I'm having the same trouble finding information about this. I know it's possible because emulators do it. Maybe I should find the source for those and look. I really have an idea of a nice homebrew app that would require the ability to list and select files.

Its very simple to list all the files in a directory, but to save you the extra questions if i posted it, ill just point you to an example of a filebrowser, included with the answre you asked...

Its made by slasher, at PSPU, the thread is Slasher's dump (lol)... I faintly remember seeing a filebrowser example posted...

Code: Select all

SceIoDirent dir;
int dfd, ok;
char path&#91;&#93;="folder";

dfd = sceIoDopen&#40;path&#41;;
if &#40;dfd>=0&#41;
&#123;
for &#40;;;&#41;
&#123;
  memset&#40;&dir, 0, sizeof dir&#41;;
  ok = sceIoDread&#40;dfd, &dir&#41;;
  if &#40;ok<0&#41; break;
  //extract info from dir
&#125;
sceIoDclose&#40;dfd&#41;;
&#125;

<edited: SceIoDirent>

Awesome thanks. But what are the members of the directory struct? I grepped the sdk/include files for sceIoDirent but couldn't find anything. I found the file that contains the prototype for sceIoDopen but that didn't help me. Am I looking in the wrong sdk folder (the one that contains pspkernel.h, pspctrl.h etc.)?

It's SceIoDirent, not sceIoDirent.

I know this is resolved, but go here and scroll down to filebrowser example. It's pretty straight forward, and should help you out.

How thick does it make you feel?

Hehe, apparently, that's the way forums work :) Quicker replies are only to be expected on instant messengers/IRC

PS: Sometimes Murphy strikes somewhat too, but oh well, could be worse, couldn't it? :P

That sample should have "ok<=0" instead of "ok<0". Giving you:

Code: Select all

SceIoDirent dir;
int dfd, ok;
char path&#91;&#93;="folder";

dfd = sceIoDopen&#40;path&#41;;
if &#40;dfd>=0&#41;
&#123;
	for &#40;;;&#41;
	&#123;
		memset&#40;&dir, 0, sizeof dir&#41;;
		ok = sceIoDread&#40;dfd, &dir&#41;;
		if &#40;ok<=0&#41; break;
		//extract info from dir
	&#125;
	sceIoDclose&#40;dfd&#41;;
&#125;
