Body
I'm having an issue with the stat function in C. My application must list all files in two directories (2nd directory not implemented yet). When dir1 is set to "." for current directory it lists all files. If I change it to the required directory it will only list one file. <pre><code>#include <stdio.h> #include <dirent.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> main () { DIR *dir1; DIR *dir2; dir1 = opendir ("/home/tom/Documents/Uni/Dropbox/OS/C/1/"); dir2 = opendir ("/home/tom/Documents/Uni/Dropbox/OS/C/2/"); struct dirent *ent; struct stat fileStat; if (dir1 != NULL) { /* while there are files to read in the directory */ while ((ent = readdir (dir1)) != NULL) { /*printf ("In 1\n"); <--debugging--> */ if (stat(ent->d_name,&fileStat) == 0) { /* ignores . and .. and hidden files */ /* printf ("In 2\n"); <--debugging--> */ if(ent->d_name[0] != '.') { /* printf ("In 3\n"); <--debugging--> */ printf ("\n"); printf ("File: %s\n", ent->d_name); printf ("File size: %d\n", fileStat.st_size); printf ("-----------------------------------\n"); } } } /* close the 1st directory */ closedir (dir1); /* close the 2nd directory */ closedir (dir2); } else { /* prints an error if the directory can not be opened */ perror (""); } } </code></pre> The result of running the program is below: <pre><code>tom@x60deb:~/Documents/Uni/Dropbox/OS/C$ ./ffffuuuuuu File: ffffuuuuuu.c File size: 1045 ----------------------------------- </code></pre> This is the result of ls in the directory it is reading: <pre><code>tom@x60deb:~/Documents/Uni/Dropbox/OS/C/1$ ls -l total 36 -rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 356 Dec 12 23:36 cwTest2.c -rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 322 Dec 12 23:36 cwTest.c -rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 627 Dec 12 23:36 ffffuuuuuu.c -rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 6 Dec 12 23:32 file -rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 6 Dec 12 23:32 file2 -rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 6 Dec 12 23:45 file2.file -rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 15 Dec 12 23:33 file3 -rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 15 Dec 12 23:45 file3.file -rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 6 Dec 12 23:45 file.file </code></pre> Thanks in advance, Tom.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
