It's a fair point ;) And there is always gonna be someone out there with an
absurd directory structure, it's an unwritten law of the land! I have a
PeeCee owning m8, who has about 700 MP3's on his hard drive. Instead of
being nice and organised like me, and having them neatly named and stored in
one place, i.e.
AlanisMorrissette_ThankYou.MP3
Yomanda_Sunshine.MP3
etc., he leaves their filenames as he downloads them, and leaves them in the
same place that it downloads. Filenames like this are not uncommon...
yomanda_---_versus_sylvester_-_mighty_real_synth_and_strings_white_label_bootleg1.mp3
my mail program will probably wrap that around, but you get the idea ;)
So, anyone offer any more advice on a recursive directory scan? I'm still
puzzled as to why the mydir2.bb program don't do it properly. I'm sure the
first time I ran it, it did. Now it doesn't. very strange.
Catch ya later,
GazChap.
