2 Feature Requests

1. Would be nice if I could load a file listing using wildcard
filtering.

e.g.

Load File List, to MY_QUEUE, in %_SB_INSTALLDIR%, 1 deep, *.dll;*.exe

I can check the extension on each iteration, but would be nice if I
could filter out the BS from the get go like you can with Clarion's
DIRECTORY().


2. It would be nice if Check In-Use Folder Tree could optionally give
me a list of the in-use files, to TEXT and/or FILE_QUEUE.

Source code is like a joke.
If you have to explain it, then it's not funny.

I think this is already supported. I tried multiple wildcards (see attached
screenshot) and it filtered all .exe and .dll files.

The variable %_SB_RETURNEX% returns a list of in-use filename(s). You can
simply use "Handle String Operation" (List Item: Count and List Item:Get) to
get the number of locked files and the name of the locked files. And/or
display the list of filename(s) in a list dialog (see attached screenshots).

Does this help?

Jeff,

This is supported. Even recursing through subfolders if you wish. I
deploy a lot of web code (hundreds of files), all with one SB script
line using wild cards.
