This code fragment retrieves a list of all logical drives on the machine and then searches all folders on the drive for files that match the filename “Cheese.exe”. Once the loop has completed, the List “files” contains the var files = new List<string>(); //@Stan R. suggested an improvement to handle floppy drives… //foreach (DriveInfo d … Read more
It’s due to file system tunnelling, as explained by Raymond Chen: “Why does tunneling exist at all? When you use a program to edit an existing file, then save it, you expect the original creation timestamp to be preserved, since you’re editing a file, not creating a new one. But internally, many programs save a … Read more
Setting user.dir is unsupported. It should be considered a read-only property. For example the evaluation of Bug 4117557 in the Sun Bug Parade contains this text: “user.dir”, which is initialized during jvm startup, should be used as an informative/readonly system property, try to customize it via command line -Duser.dir=xyz will end up at implementation dependend/unspecified … Read more
It seems to me that you are mixing the various ways to use ReadDirectoryChangesW(), you do both specify the FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED flag when opening the directory and provide a pointer to the lpOverlapped parameter, meaning you want to wait on the event in the structure and handle the asynchronous I/O; and at the same time you … Read more
Try it with another directory and then copy these files to that directory, while the job is running.
MacOS X uses a special kind of decomposed UTF-8 to store filenames. If you need to e.g. read in filenames and write them to a “normal” UTF-8 file, you must normalize them : filename = unicodedata.normalize(‘NFC’, unicode(filename, ‘utf-8’)).encode(‘utf-8’) from here: https://web.archive.org/web/20120423075412/http://boodebr.org/main/python/all-about-python-and-unicode
The correct way is NSString* path; path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSLibraryDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES)[0]; However, [@”~/Library” stringByExpandingTildeInPath] also works. Swift 3: let path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.libraryDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0]
(This is mostly stolen from a previous answer of mine…) Unicode allows some accented characters to be represented in several different ways: as a “code point” representing the accented character, or as a series of code points representing the unaccented version of the character, followed by the accent(s). For example, “รค” could be represented either … Read more
Your question got a little bit deeper, when you asked further. I’ll try to cover all your options… Reading One File: How many threads? Use one thread. If you read straight through a file front-to-back from a single thread, the operating system will not fetch the file in small chunks like you’re thinking. Rather, it … Read more
If we look at the libstdc++ status we see that they do have support for the File System TS: Paper | Title | Status …….. N4100 | File System | Y but it says: This page describes the C++14 and library TS support in mainline GCC SVN, not in any particular release. and from trying … Read more
