Limit recursion depth for folderreport()
Posted: 24 Aug 2012 11:55
Can you please add another parameter to folderreport() to let us choose the exact recursion depth?
E.g.: Like this:
folderreport()
Creates a report on a folder.
Syntax
folderreport([type=dump], [target=clipboard], [folder], [flags], [outputfile], [separator], [depth])
[depth] can be omitted and is only used when [flags] contains "r".
values for depth are:
0 = unlimited
1, 2, ..., x = Step down 1, 2, ..., x subdirectories
If [flags] uses "r" and depth is omitted, 0 (unlimited) is assumed.
This shouldn't break any existing scripts!
I often have to create dynamic reports for deeply nested hierarchies with thousand of files in it but where I only need to step
down 1 or 2 directories deeper, instead of creating a huge list of files, that aren't necessary at all.
