Why is it finding a way to forget the root dir?

| This is really cheesing me off now, blitz appears to be hell bent on me not programming a file browser. After clicking around for some time it will try and open a directory for reading which is just the folder name, not the full path and subsequently screws itself over. Have a look here at: http://rapidshare.com/files/442253306/Your_Faction.rar basically one of the Dir functions seems to be screwing it, but the program is so complicated i dont have a clue how to find it or sort it! |

| Yeah, that's a lot of code. It probably comes down to the root not really being a directory. It contains files, which include ordinary files and directories. Try examining the path you are using, especially the final \, when trouble occurs. I know the root needs some kind of special handling. For example with ChangeDir the final \ is optional. But it must be omitted for the root. |

| I've not yet had a look at your code, but I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark- Whenever iterating through files/folders, one of the key commands is: NextFile() From personal experience, I have often forgotten on occasion, to add the root when referring to NextFile() as the actual FILE/FOLDER rather than just the next iteration. Maybe this is happening to you too? Just a guess, but I hope it is of use! Last edited 2011 |
