Argument definitions
You can use vfs.file-directory
to create a vfs.directory
object representing the file managed by a vfs.file
object. This functionality is chiefly useful when dealing with network resources accessed via a protocol such as HTTP or FTP. These protocols will be supported in a later version of the OMVFS library.
The following program opens a file using a vfs.file
object and then uses vfs.file-directory
to create a vfs.directory
object for the directory that contains the file. It then prints the name of the directory using vfs.directory-name
.
import "omvfs.xmd" prefixed by vfs. process local vfs.file foo local vfs.directory dir set foo to vfs.open "file:/c:/temp/bar/bar.txt" set dir to vfs.file-directory of foo output vfs.directory-name on dir
