| Summary | Have QUERY %file/ return info if %file is not a directory. |
|---|---|
| Description |
Right now, QUERY returns information about existing directories regardless of whether the file! value has a trailing "/". It would be useful if QUERY of a file (not a directory) would also ignore any trailing "/" in the provided file! value. This would make it easier to determine if the file exists, whether or not it is a directory. This request would only apply to files, not URLs (where the trailing "/" might make the target different). This is related to #604, and probably the cause of #602 as well. Submitted as a wish in case the current behavior was done intentionally. |
| Example code |
>> query %base
== make object! [
name: %base/
size: 0
date: 14-Jan-2009/21:24:34
type: 'dir
]
>> query %blah
== make object! [
name: %blah
size: 22
date: 22-Jan-2009/0:16:48
type: 'file
]
>> query %blah/
== none ; Should be the same as query %blah

This would also make QUERY more R2-compatible, but that is *not* considered important here. If there is a good enough reason to change things from R2, we change things - that is one of the goals of R3. |

This was fixed some time ago, but the bug status was not updated. |

The behavior complained about in the example code is still there in alpha 98, *not* fixed. This is how it should behave:
>> query %blah == make object! [ name: %/path/to/blah size: 22 date: 22-Jan-2009/0:16:48 type: 'file ] >> query %blah/ == make object! [ name: %/path/to/blah size: 22 date: 22-Jan-2009/0:16:48 type: 'file ] |

Ah, right. Two different port schemes here. Will look at that. |

An oddness in Win32 does not want slash on dir names for GetFileAttributesEx(), so it was erroring out. Fixed. |
