Table Of Contents
Recursive File List (G Dataflow)
Searches a folder recursively and lists the contents of the folder.
/Recursive%20File%20List.gvi.png)
folder
Path to the folder whose contents you want this node to return.
continue recursing on error
A Boolean value that specifies whether to continue recursing directories if an error occurs. If multiple errors occur while recursing, this node determines whether to continue recursing based on the first error that occurs.
| True | This node continues recursing directory contents after the error occurs. |
| False | This node stops recursing directory contents when the error occurs. |
Default: False
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
pattern
Pattern for which you want to search the files in the specified directory. Use regular expression special characters to specify the pattern.
Definitions of Special Characters
The pattern matching used by this node is similar to the matching used in matching wildcards. A wildcard is a keyboard character such as an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?) that you can use in place of one or more characters when you search for files. Use wildcards in place of one or more characters when you do not know what the real character is or you do not want to type the entire name.
Characters behave as described in the following table.
| Character | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ? | Matches any single character. | If you enter multi?.doc, this node locates the file multi1.doc or multis.doc but not multiply.doc. |
| * | Matches any sequence of zero or more characters. | If you enter *.html;*.doc, this node locates all files with the extensions .doc or .html. |
| ; | Separates patterns, allowing you to specify multiple allowable patterns. Do not insert whitespace following this character because this node interprets whitespace literally. | If you enter multi.doc;multiply.doc this node locates both the file multi.doc and multiply.doc. |
| All other characters, including white space | Matches the exact character. | If you enter multi.doc, this node only locates the file multi.doc. |
folders to exclude
Folder names you want to exclude during the recursion. Any folder you exclude does not appear in the all folders output. This input is case insensitive.
all folders
A list of all subfolders and shortcuts to folders in the folder input.
all files in folder
A list of all files in the specified folder path. The list also includes shortcuts to files.
number of files
Number of files in the all files in folder array.
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
