Examples:
Without a callback, directly returning the filenames as a list:
puts [globx c:/winnt] puts [globx c:/winnt *.dll]
Returning the filenames unsorted name-by-name via callback:
proc callback file {
puts $file
}
puts [globx c:/winnt * callback]; # will return the number of files readThis is to save memory!
ECS: I had to include some lines to test for "." and ".." otherwise the routine loops. MH: On my platform (W2k, Tcl 8.4.6), the original routine does not loop; the glob command never returns '..' and '.'. Which platform did you test the code on? ECS: Debian Linux: Linux babylon 2.4.26-ow2 #1 Fri Jul 9 15:19:06 BRT 2004 i686 GNU/Linux TCL is 8.4.7 (samething happens with 8.4.6). In any case it is better to be safe than sorry :-)
