[Closed] getSavePath() Folder name

if i understand correctly this should give you just the folder name:

thepath = getsavepath()
thefolder = filterstring thepath “\”
thefolder = thefolder[thefolder.count]

Thanks Ian, I’ll try it

it’s working perfectly. Thanks a lot.

^^nice… forgot about all of those.

nice. thanks a lot as well Denis

I’m wondering how i could run an infinite loop.

I would like to store all my subfolders into a dotnet tree, by using a code like this:

FolderPath = "C:\blablabla"
   
   fn AddSubFolderFn =(
   	TheFolder = filenameFromPath FolderPath
   	SubFolderPaths = getDirectories (FolderPath + "\\*")
   	for i in SubFolderPaths do
   	(
   		FloderPath = i
   		for i in FolderPath do AddSubFolderFn()
   	)
   )

(i didn’t copy the dotnet part )

I didn’t try it yet, but i think it will run my loop in the 1st subFolder only, like my 2nd exemple below

humm, not an easy one, so I wanted to go my way …

(
fn GatherSubFolder Rootfolder =
	(
	TreeStruct = GetDirectories (Rootfolder+"\\*")
	FinalPath = #()
	NeedCheck = #()
	--//--
	if TreeStruct.count != 0 then
		(
		for f in 1 to TreeStruct.count do
			(
			if (GetDirectories (TreeStruct[f]+"\\*")).count > 1 then 
				(
				append NeedCheck TreeStruct[f]
				)
			else
				(
				append FinalPath TreeStruct[f]
				)
			)
		)
	--//--
	while NeedCheck.count != 0 do
		(
		append FinalPath NeedCheck[1]
		SubChild=GetDirectories (NeedCheck[1]+"\\*")
		--//--
		for f in 1 to SubChild.count do 
			(
			append FinalPath SubChild[f]
			--//--
			AppChild=GetDirectories (SubChild[f]+"\\*")
			--//--
			 if AppChild.count > 1 then
				 (
				for j in 1 to AppChild.count do
					(
					append NeedCheck AppChild[j]
					)
				--//--
				)
			--//--
			)
		deleteitem NeedCheck 1
		--//--
		)
	sort FinalPath
	FinalPath
	)
--//--
myfolder=GatherSubFolder "C:\\"
--//--
clearlistener()
--for f in myfolder do print f
print myfolder.count
-->my count :24616
-->reported count :16451
)

for some reason there seam to be some folder skip… must be some special character…let me know if you found

How to get dirs recursively:

struct dir_scruct (path, name, subs = #())
global dir_list = #()
fn getSubDirectories path:"C:\\Program Files\\Autodesk\\" list:#() = 
(
if iskindof path String and doesfileexist path do
(
path = dir_scruct path:path name:(trimRight (pathConfig.stripPathToLeaf path) "\\")
)
 
if isStruct path do
(
append list path
subs = getDirectories (path.path + "*")
for d in subs do path.subs = getSubDirectories path:d list:path.subs
)
list
)
dir_list = getSubDirectories()

as the result you will get tree of directories with “C:\Program Files\Autodesk\” as root

humm seam incredibly slow …not even terminated at the moment on the entire c drive …do you know what may be causing this ?
