Previous Next

Returns a node set enumerating files and folders found in the filesystem at the location of filepath.

Syntax

directories:DirectoryContent( 
   filepath
,  filter
,  level
,  after
,  before
)

Filters the result using filter, level, after, and before:

Filter is a DOS filter for folder- and filenames in which '*' (asterisk) is a name wildcard.

Level is the number of directory levels taken into account from filepath.

After (if passed) specifies a date value. Files stamped before this date are filtered from the result set.

Before (if passed) specifies a date value. Files stamped after this date are filtered from the result set.

Example 1

<pc:assign mycontentslist="{directories:DirectoryContent($workingdir, '*.*', '1', '', '')}" />
<pc:comment-of select="$mycontentslist"/>

This example could return:

<Directory dirpath="c:\usoft\1.0\flatfiles\using" dirname="using" lastwrite="2018/0103123145">
  <File filepath="c:\usoft\1.0\flatfiles\using\config.xsl" filename="config.xsl" lastwrite="2018/0103125957" />
  <File filepath="c:\usoft\1.0\flatfiles\using\sample.xsl" filename="sample.xsl" lastwrite="2018/0103123145" />
</Directory>
<File filepath="c:\usoft\1.0\flatfiles\config.xml" filename="config.xml" lastwrite="2018/0103132731" />
<File filepath="c:\usoft\1.0\flatfiles\TRAVEL.con" filename="TRAVEL.con" lastwrite="2018/0103122019" />
<File filepath="c:\usoft\1.0\flatfiles\TRAVEL.con" filename="TRAVEL.job" lastwrite="2018/0103122020" />
<File filepath="c:\usoft\1.0\flatfiles\TRAVEL.esi" filename="TRAVEL.esi" lastwrite="2018/0103122021" />

 

Example 2

<pc:each 
  using="directories:DirectoryContent($workingdir, '*.*', '1', '', '')"
  select="Directory/File[not(@filename='deploy.xml')]
  assign:result="@filename">
 
  <pc:CopyFileOverwrite 
    source="{path:Combine($sourcedir,$result)}" 
    destination="{path:Combine($destdir,$result)}"/>
 
</pc:each>
