Accessing File Attributes in Recital

  • fileinfo() - return a comma-separated string containing information about a file 
character = fileinfo(<filename as character>)
  • fsize() - return the size of a file 
numeric = fsize(<filename as character>)
  • fdate() - return the last modification date of a file 
date = fdate(<filename as character>)
  • ftime() - return the last modification time of a file 
character = ftime(<filename as character>)

character = fullpath(<filename as character>)



character = basename(<filename as character>)

Miscellaneous File and File System Commands and Functions

  • adir() - return number of files matching a pattern and load filenmames and information into arrays 
numeric = adir(<skeleton as character> [, <filenames as array> [, <filesizes as array> 
[, <creationdates as array> [, <creationtimes as array> [, <attributes as array>]]]]])
  • dir - display a directory of files 
dir [<skeleton as character>]
  • filecount()- return number of files matching a pattern 
numeric = filecount(<skeleton as character>)
  • curdir() - return name of the current directory 
character = curdir()
  • default()- return name of the current directory 
character = default()

set default to [<directory as character>]
  • path() - return current Recital path setting 
character = path()

set path to [<directories as character>]
  • diskspace() - return the available space on the current disk
