 Posted: Tue May 07, 2024 10:00 am Post subject: Fixing Seach Function |
 |
|
I've made a messy code that partially works but I want to improve it.
My vision of the script:
- it has to search a directory and its subdirectories for the file and file extension passed
- If it finds 1 stop the search. if more than 1 occurrence were found in the directory and subdirectories of the first occurrence then let me do something and stop the search.
- I want the search function to be universal if possible.
What happens now:
- it finds the file and keeps running.
I want it to find the file stop, search the last directory and subdirectories and return the number of occurrences.
And thank you for helping. I am learning thanks to you.
| Code: | local lfs = require("lfs")
local directory = "D:\\mydirectory\\mysubdirectory\\Game Hacks"

local filePath = ""
local file = ""
local function searchFile(directory, fileName, fileExtension, searchType)
local fileFoundCount = 0 -- Variable to count occurrences of the file

CE's Lua API has some relevant functions. celua.txt:
| Quote: | getFileList(Path:string, searchMask:string OPTIONAL, SearchSubDirs: boolean OPTIONAL, DirAttrib: integer OPTIONAL): Returns an indexed table with filenames
getDirectoryList(Path:string, SearchSubDirs: boolean OPTIONAL): Returns an indexed table with directory names
extractFileName(filepath): returns the filename of the path
extractFileExt(filepath): returns the file extension of the path
extractFileNameWithoutExt(filepath): Returns the filename of the path, without the extension
extractFilePath(filepath): removes the filename from the path
getTempFolder() : Returns the path to the temp folder
fileExists(pathtofile): Returns true if a file exists at that path
deleteFile(pathtofile): Returns true if a file existed at that path, and now not anymore
|
Example:
| Code: | -- print all .ct files in a certain directory recursively
local path = [[D:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory\Game Hacks]]
for _,p in ipairs(getFileList(path, '*.ct', true)) do
print(p)
end |

I fixed the existing code, but @ParkourPenguin's idea is more stable, concise and understandable.
Here's whichever you want;
| Code: | local directory = [[D:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory\Game Hacks\]]
local fileExtension = ".ct"
local filePath = ""
local file = ""
local function searchFile(directory, fileName, fileExtension, searchType)
local fileFoundCount = 0
local filePath1 = ""
fileExtension = (fileExtension):lower()
for file in lfs.dir(directory) do
local Path1 = directory.. "\\" .. file
--print("Found file: " .. file)
local attr = lfs.attributes(Path1)
if attr.mode == "directory" then
filePath1 = directory.. "\\" .. file
--print("Found file path: " .. filePath1)
else
filePath = filePath.. "\\" .. file
fileFoundCount = fileFoundCount + 1
ext = filePath:match("^.+(%..+)$"):lower()
foundName = extractFileName(filePath)
foundName = foundName:gsub("...$","")
--print("Found file name: " .. foundName.." - "..ext)
if ext==fileExtension then
if foundName==fileName then
print("Found file path: " .. filePath1)
print("Found file name: " .. foundName)
print("Found file extension: " .. ext)
print("Found file count: " .. fileFoundCount)
return
end
else
filePath1 = directory
--It does not include the last read folder in the current path.
--This prevents; Path (folder1, folder2, folder3, name.ct)
--Result: Path-folder3-name.ct
--Correct path: Path-name.ct
end
end
end
end
function searchCT(directory)
processName = process:gsub("%.exe", "") --..fileExtension
searchFile(directory, processName, fileExtension)
print("*** Done ***")
end
searchCT(directory) |
-- or
| Code: | local directory = [[D:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory\Game Hacks\]]
function searchFile(directory, fileName, fileExtension)
local fileFoundCount=0
for _,p in ipairs(getFileList(directory, '*'..fileExtension, true)) do
fileFoundCount = fileFoundCount + 1
foundName = extractFileName(p)
--print(foundName)
ext = foundName:match("^.+(%..+)$"):lower()
foundName = foundName:gsub("...$","")
filePath1 = extractFilePath(p)
--print("Found file name: " .. foundName.." - "..ext)
if ext==fileExtension then
if foundName==fileName then
print("Found file path: " .. filePath1)
print("Found file name: " .. foundName)
print("Found file extension: " .. ext)
print("Found file count: " .. fileFoundCount)
--return
end
end
end
end
function searchCT(directory)
processName = process:gsub("%.exe", "") --..fileExtension
searchFile(directory, processName, ".ct")
print("*** Done ***")
end
searchCT(directory) |
