Version History

2.2.0 from 2012-05-05

• New method IsValidWin32Filename

2.1.1 from 2012-02-16

• Bug fixed in CopyTo: return code was ignored so far. (Appropriate test case got added).

2.1.0 from 2012-01-24

• New method ExpandEnv.

• New method ExpandPath.

2.0.3 from 2012-01-04

• Since the introduction of Unicode sorting of Dir and DirX are wrong.

2.0.2 from 2012-01-04

• The 2.0.1 patch was partly okay, but "?" together with a wildcard still didn't work properly under certain circumstances.

2.0.1 from 2011-12-30

• Thanks to a bug in Microsoft's "Find*File" functions both Dir and DirX sometimes delivered invalid results when the pattern contained a "?". This is now fixed in WinFile.

2.0.0 from 2011-12-17

• New method DirTree.

1.9.1 from 2011-12-15

• Redundant code removed: Uppercase, Lowercase.

1.9.0 from 2011-12-15

• New methods MoveToWithRC and CopyToWithRC introduced. These new methods return a return code and a textual message rather than throwing an exception.

• The return codes thrown by MoveTo and CopyTo are the real OS return codes now. Prior to version 1.9.0 a DOMAIN ERROR was thrown.

1.8.1 from 2011-11-05

• Documentation improved.
• Couple of argument checks implemented.
• Test_004 enhanced (checks prototype now for long and short filename).
• INI files introduced for local (machine) dependencies.

1.8.0 from 2011-09-23

• Two new methods introduced: IsFilenameOkay and IsFoldernameOkay

1.7.4 from 2011-08-29

• New method PWD (print working directory) introduced.

1.7.4 from 2011-08-29

• CheckPath crashed when an error occurred while creating a directory

1.7.3 from 2011-08-12

• Due to problems with unnamed namespaces in versions prior to 13.0 WinFile needed to be changed in order to avoid trouble when it's used as part of a Dyalog User Command.

1.7.2 from 2011-08-07

• All test cases are rewritten

• DateOf returned a result too deeply nested whith "All" as left argument.

• The field COL_LastWriteDate had the wrong value.

• RmDir returned a 0 (success) for a directory name it could not find.

• IsDirEmpty could deal with double-quotes around the paths.

• MoveTo crashed on invalid left/right argument (empty vector)

1.7.1 from 2011-08-02

• Size of the script reduced (width!). Important in order to avoid WS FULL when using Dyalog's "Search" tool.

1.7.0 from 2011-07-11

• Fields introduced for indexing the result of DirX, for example: #.WinFile.((DirX'*')[;COL_Name,FA_DIRECTORY])

1.6.1 from 2011-07-04

• When the parameters ('Recursive' 1) and ('FileTime' 1) were both specified then the files found in sub-directories ddid not have a timestamp.

• Comments in DirX as well  CopyTo needed improvement.

1.6.0 from 2011-06-02

• This version does not use APLTeamUtils any longer but APLTreeUtils instead.

1.5.1 from 2011-05-03

• Check for invalid wildcards in Dir and DirX was invalid: "?"would pass the test.

• Dir did not return a result on a simple filename. Although this is not very useful it should work. (DirX works fine).

• Dir and DirX do not return the correct result when wildcards were used in the pattern and a recursive search was performed.

• Path/filenames with a double-quotes made several methods in #.WinFile crash.

1.5.0 from 2011-05-02

• New method DoesExist: returns 1 in case the right argument identifies either a file or a directory.

• ListDirsOnly got smarter: supports wildcard chars now and work out whether the left argument is a search pattern or a folder.

• These methods now throw an error in case a wildcard char is specified: Delete, DoesExist, DoesExistDir, DoesExistFile

1.4.6 from 2011-05-02

• Dir and DirX did not process correctly question marks in their search pattern argument.

1.4.5 from 2011-04-21

• All methods now accepts filenames and path names surrounded by ".

• All methods set both, ⎕IO and ⎕ML for good reasons.

1.4.4 from 2011-04-09

• 8.3 names returned by DirX were rubbish in case the "long" filename was 8 or less chars long.
• Empty folders were reported when a mask was specified that does not only contain a "*".

1.4.3 from 2011-04-05

• Both, Dir as well as DirX support wildcard characters now together with ('Recursive' 1) fully.

1.4.2 from 2011-03-01

• Nothing new: wrong workspace saved in repository...

1.4.1 from 2011-03-01

• Bug fix in DateOf: left a handle open which could cause an access rights problem elsewhere.

1.2.7 from 2008-12-19

• []ML localyzed and set to circumvent a bug in Dyalog ([]ML pretends to be 3 but is not)

1.2.6 from 2008-08-12

• Documentation improved

1.2.5 from 2008-07-30

• Addressing APLTeamUtils was still wrong elsewhere

1.2.4 from 2008-07-26
