Modern Fs WalkIterator SkipChildren

Home › Filesystem › Filesystem Library › WalkIterator.SkipChildren

WalkIterator.SkipChildren

Skips the contents of the folder a walk has just returned.

Syntax

WalkIterator.SkipChildren( )

Notes

• Do not walk into the entry just yielded. For an explicit iterator loop; a for each loop prunes with WalkOptions.Filter instead.
• A no-op for anything but a directory the walk was about to enter, and with ContentsFirst, where the contents came first.

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
dim as WalkRange r = WalkDir( dir_, o )
dim as WalkIterator it = r.GetIterator( )
while it.IsValid( )
    print it.Value( ).Value( ).Name( )
    if it.Value( ).Value( ).Name( ) = "build" then it.SkipChildren( )
    it.MoveNext( )
wend
'' README  build  src  main.tiko
RemoveDirAll( dir_ )
