Recursive Search
If I want to get the file info of all files in a certain directory, then all files from the subdirectories are also listed. How can I prevent this? I only need the main directory.
Command:
phiola.exe" info "D:\MP3\Chill Out" -inc "*.mp3"
In this case you should pass to phiola a wildcard, e.g.
phiola.exe info "D:\MP3\Chill Out\*.mp3"
Yes, it works. Thank you.
How can I do this with all supported formats?
phiola.exe info "D:\MP3\Chill Out\*.*"
reads the subdirectories again. Using the Phiolas Format Detector I was able to filter out the unsupported formats. Do I have to go the long way and insert the path for all formats individually, e.g.
phiola.exe info "D:\MP3\Chill Out\*.mp3" "D:\MP3\Chill Out\*.aac" "D:\MP3\Chill Out\*.ogg" ... ?
phiola.exe info "D:\MP3\Chill Out\*.*"reads the subdirectories again
If a directory contains a dot then yes, it will be included in the search.
To work-around that you can try using *.??, *.??? and *.???? masks, or explicitly specifying all supported file types as you already tried.
Note that on Linux there is no such problem, because one would just use find ... | xargs phiola info command for your scenario.
Thanks for your advice. I will try it. I would also prefer to work in Linux but I can't install wxBasic under Linux Mint. It wants libraries that I can't find anywhere.
One of the main advantages of Linux is that the libs are open-source, and thus you can always build them manually if necessary. But if you're stuck, send me an email directly - I will try to help you.
Thank you very much. I will try again in the next few days and get back to you.
