Hi

I set a variable with

RegisterGroovy( "List_All_Files_In_Directory ( path )" ;

"def result = new StringBuffer();

def dir = new File(path);

count = 0;

listFiles( dir, result );

result.toString().trim();

void listFiles( File directory, StringBuffer buff ) {

for (eachFile in directory.listFiles() ) {

  if (eachFile.getName().startsWith(\".\")) continue;

  buff.append(\"\n\" + eachFile.getPath());

  if( eachFile.isDirectory() ) {

   buff.append( File.separator );

  }

  count++;

}

} ")

and get error

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationerrorsException: startup failed:

Script1.groovy: 1: unexpected token: count @ line 1, column 389.

pend( File.separator ); } count++;

^

1 error

perhaps it is the n character wich failed

I've tried "n" or "n" without success

Did you test the code as a ScriptMaster module first to confirm the code will compile?

Yes i do

it runs

if i put this code in a field and put into the groovy quote (field), it works.

I think it is probably the character, but i don't

so now i put :

RegisterGroovy( "List_All_Files_In_Directory ( path )" ;

quote ("def result = new StringBuffer();

def dir = new File(path);

count = 0;

listFiles( dir, result );

result.toString().trim();

void listFiles( File directory, StringBuffer buff ) {

for (eachFile in directory.listFiles() ) {

if (eachFile.getName().startsWith(".")) continue;

buff.append("n" + eachFile.getPath());

if( eachFile.isDirectory() ) {

buff.append( File.separator );

}

count++;

}

}")

)

and it works !

in fact it records well, but the function does not work

error :

def result = new StringBuffer(); def dir = new File(path); count = 0; listFiles( dir, result ); result.toString().trim(); void listFiles( File directory, StringBuffer buff ) { for (eachFile in directory.listFiles() ) { if (eachFile.getName().startsWith(".")) continue; buff.append("

" + eachFile.getPath()); if( eachFile.isDirectory() ) { buff.append( File.separator ); } count++; } }

now it seems to be right with :

RegisterGroovy( "List_All_Files_In_Directory ( path )" ; "def result = new StringBuffer();¶def dir = new File(path);¶count = 0;¶listFiles( dir, result );¶result.toString().trim();¶¶void listFiles( File directory, StringBuffer buff ) {¶ for (eachFile in directory.listFiles() ) {¶ if (eachFile.getName().startsWith(".")) continue;¶ buff.append("n" + eachFile.getPath());¶ if( eachFile.isDirectory() ) {¶ buff.append( File.separator );¶ }¶ count++;¶ }¶}")

it works in a calculating field, bu the dataviewer don't like this function

This is a great example where being more Groovy in the code will help troubleshooting:

Using

if (eachFile.getName().startsWith('.'))

in the code will show the same in the RegisterGroovy code rather than the escaped version, making it much easier to read.

thanks John !
