ADFS FILE-FIND UPDATE

by Lee Calcraft

The short ADFS File-Find utility in Volume 1 Issue 9 fails to work properly with certain nested directory structures. This is remedied by making the four arrays dir(), dir$(), file() and file$() LOCAL to the recursive procedure PROCsearch. To do this, alter line 190 to read:
LOCAL n,dir(),dir$(),file(),file$()
and move lines 100 and 110 to 194 and 196.

We are grateful to David Pringle for pointing out that, although the program will work on Econet, it will only read the first 32 items in any directory, because of the different way in which OS_GBPB works on the network. The File-Find command in last month's Toolbox does not suffer from this limitation because it uses the call in a different way.
