Modern Fs DirEntry SortByName

Home › Filesystem › Filesystem Library › WalkOptions.SortByName

WalkOptions.SortByName

Chooses whether a walk lists each folder in name order; false by default.

Syntax

WalkOptions.SortByName

Notes

• FALSE by default (the order the system lists). TRUE orders each directory's entries by ORDINAL comparison of Name( ) -- code unit by code unit, the same on every machine and in every locale, so uppercase sorts before lowercase.

Examples

#import "std/fs"
using fs

dim as ustring dir_ = CreateTempDir( "tkdoc" ).Value( )
CreateDirAll( PathJoin( dir_, "src" ) )
CreateDirAll( PathJoin( dir_, "build" ) )
WriteAllText( PathJoin( dir_, "src", "main.tiko" ), "x" )
WriteAllText( PathJoin( dir_, "build", "main.o" ), "x" )
WriteAllText( PathJoin( dir_, "README" ), "x" )
dim as WalkOptions o
o.SortByName = true
o.MaxDepth = 1
for each e in WalkDir( dir_, o )
    print e.Value( ).Name( )
next
'' README  build  src
RemoveDirAll( dir_ )
